PREFACE 



To acquaint students, alumni and visitors with the equipment 
and resources of the University of Pennsylvania, and to assist the 
students and friends of the University in escorting visitors 
through the institution, the editor prepared, in 1904, a pamphlet 
descriptive of the principal buildings and objects of interest, 
which was t!ie first edition of this Guide Book. The subsequent 
editions were illustrated and greatly enlarged. The six editions 
had issues of from five to twenty thousand copies. 

The editor acknowledges the assistance given him by various 
officials of the University, and also information and data collected 
from a number of reports and pamphlets. 

The scope of the work prevents more than a brief historical 
account and description of the Departments, but full informa- 
tion will be furnished by the Recorder's Office on request ; or 
those wishing information on the courses and various schools 
are referred to the general catalogue and departmental publi- 
cations ; and those desirous of looking up the historical de- 
velopment of the University are referred to the list of publica- 
tions printed in this edition.

Among other colleges; still existent, which were founded prior 
to the beginning of the Revolution in 1775 are William and Mary, 
Brown, Rutgers and Dartmouth. Even prior to 1800 there were 
no more than thirty colleges and universities in the United States. 

The Universit}^ of Pennsylvania traces its origin to the Charity 
School organized in 1740, which was succeeded by the Academy, 
organized in September, 1749, which occupied the building of the 
Charity School. The Academy was the result of a pamphlet 
published in 1749, by Benjamin Franklin, entitled "Proposals 
Relating to the Education of Youth in Pennsylvania" and was 
formally opened, in the presence of a distinguished assembly of 
citizens, on January 7, 1751. The trustees received their first 
charter in 1753, and in 1755. by virtue of a second charter, the 
Academy was made The College of Philadelphia with power to 
confer the usual honorary and collegiate degrees. 

The building in which the Academy was installed was erected 
in 1740 for Whitefield and other itinerant preachers, and was the 
largest building then in Philadelphia. The lot on which it was 
located had a frontage of 209 feet, and was capable, as Benjamin 
Franklin stated in 1750, "of receiving more buildings to lodge the 
scholars if it should come to be a regular college. The house is 
built of brick, very strong and sufficiently high for three lofty 
stories." The building was subsequently divided into two stories 
and re-arranged, in which condition it remained until 1844, when 
it was destroyed. The entrance to the factory building now 
standing on this site is, in the opinion of the writer, the original 
portal of the Academy, and possibly other material of the old 
Academy building was used in the construction of the present 
building. 

According to "Montgomery's History," the entrance to this 
building opened into a large hall, and on either side were large 
class rooms, that to the north being occupied by the charity school. 
The western half of the first floor was occupied by a large room, 
ninety by thirty-five feet, in the center of which was a platform 
from which the members of the faculty taught their classes. To 
the south between the large room and the front class room the 
hall turned west, opening out into the playground, which was 
about one hundred by fifty feet. In_the side hall arose a heavy 
staircase with a solid balustrade which opened into a large upper 
hall covering the entire width of the building and about ninety 
feet in length. Across the south end over the stairway was a 
gallery ; the rostrum was against the north wall. In this hall were 
held the early commencements as well as all the public exercises, 
and on Sunday divine services were held by Whitefield and 
others. The front campus was more ornamental than useful, 
the students not being allowed to use it for a playground. 

The building to the north seems to have taken form at the 
trustees' meeting of March to, 1761, when the subject of building 
a dormitor)^ was considered because of the "inconvenience of 



12 

the scholars being boarded at such great distances, etc." The 
subject was brought up at several subsequent meetings and on 
Xoveniber jSth of the same year the Board voted to erect a new 
building as reconnnended in a report of a si)ecial committee which 
provided for a building seventy feet long by thirty feet wide, 
which was to have on the ground floor two charity schools with 
a kitchen and dining room and in the upper stories sixteen 
lodging rooms with a cellar beneath the hall. On Ajiril u. !7()J, 
the trustees deci<.ieu to construct the new building on the north 
side of the Academy building on account of the southern ex- 
posure, and also \or the pur])ose of keeping clear the south

door. Part of this building is undoubtedly still standing. The 
University also built a dwelling for the tirst Provost. William 
Smith, at the southwest corner of bour and Arch Streets. Thi-s 
building, the writer believes. ir> also still standing, forming the 
first two stories of the present building on that site. The old 
dwelling at the northeast corner, which has frequently been 
mentioned as the first Provost's house and so marked for a 



13 

long time, is not authentic. The other dwelHng of the first 
Provost is in good condition and is still standing on a bluff of a 
hill at the Falls of the Schuylkill in Philadelphia overlooking 
the river. For many years the writer has urged that these 
buildings be removed and permanently preserved on the present 
campus of the University in West Philadelphia. The pencil 
sketch of these buildings by Mrs. G. E. Nitzsche, reproduced 
on page 9, shows how these buildings would appear if re- 
moved to the now vacant lot at the southeast corner of Thirty- 
fourth and Walnut Streets, which site is almost the same size 
as that of the old grounds at Fourth and Arch Streets. This 
sketch includes the Smith Mansion at the Falls of the Schuylkill, 
the old Academy Building of 1740 and the Dormitory of 1762, 
arranged around an open courtyard. These buildings, it is 
thought, might be used to advantage for a Museum devoted to 
collections bearing upon the history of the University, for Dor- 
mitory purposes, or a Club House for the Faculty. 

The two University buildings first mentioned were occupied 
by the University until 1802, when the University was removed 
to the present site of the United States post office at Ninth and 
Chestnut Streets. 

In 1765 a School of Medicine was added to the College. The 
lectures were given in "Anatomical Hall," or "Surgeon's Hall," 
which stood on the east side of Fifth Street above Walnut. Later 
the University also rented rooms in the American Philosophical 
Society Building on the west side of Fifth Street below Chestnut- 
Street. The old Philadelphia Dispensary, built in 1801, and still 
standing on Fifth Street, was also used for teaching the medical 
classes. Dr. William Shippen and Dr. John Morgan were the 
prime movers of the enterprise and to John Morgan is accorded 
the honor of being the founder of the Medical School. The 
school grew rapidly and attained a prominence which made it 
the foremost institution of its kind in North America, and not- 
withstanding the fact that medical schools of some other uni- 
versities have made notable progress in the past one hundred 
and fifty years, it has not only remained in the front rank, but 
at the present time probably maintains the most advanced re- 
quirements for admission to study and the highest standards 
of scholarship for graduation. Its graduates lead in their pro- 
fession in every locality in which they practice. The Medical 
School from the time of its inception to that of its complete 
organization was modeled after that of the University of Edin- 
burgh and its "coat of arms" is a Scotch thistle. 

In 1779 the charter rights and privileges of the college were 
absorbed by a new organization, called in its charter "The Trus- 
tees of the University of the State of Pennsylvania," making it 
the first institution in the United States to be designated a 
university. It was also the first university in fact in North 



T4 

America, it being the first educational institution to cstal)lish 
professional schools as distinct from the college. 

In 1791 it was incorporated by another charter as "The Uni- 
versity of Pennsylvania"; the charter having been granted jointly 
to the trustees of the Charity School and Academy; of the Col- 
lege and of the University. 

The "Sons of Pennsylvania" were in those early days, as they 
are even now. among the leaders in educational, social and po- 
litical life. The first Provost. William Smith, was one of the 
ablest educators of his time, and the college course planned by 
him became the model which has been followed in the arrange- 
ment of the curriculum of most of the modern American colleges 
and universities.

In the first class graduated, in Alay, 1737. the degree of Bach- 
elor of Arts was conferred on several young men. The names 
of these were Paul Jackson. Jacob Duche. Francis Hopkinson, 
Samuel Magaw. Hugh Williamson, James Latta and John Mor- 
gan. A noted member of this class was Benjamin West, the 
great painter, who left in his Sophomore year to study in luirope. 
Jacob Duche, who was valedictorian of his class, was Chaplain 
to Congress 1774-76; Francis Hopkinson. author of "The Battle 
of the Kegs." was also a member of the Continental Congress, 
and a signer of the Declaration of Independence; James Latta 
became a famous Presbyterian minister and was the third mod- 
erator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church ; 
Samuel Magaw became clergyman of the Church of b'ngland ; 
John Morgan held the first medical i)rofessorship in Xorth 
.America, and was the physician in chief of the Continental Army 
1775-77. and Hugh Williamson was a member of the Continental 
Congress and a noted scientist and astronomer.

To mention the famous graduates of succeeding classes would 
require far more space than the present sketch will permit, but 
we may claim, without being charged with extravagance, that the 
twentieth century shows a similar eminence in letters, science and 
statecraft of the graduates of Pennsylvania. 

Situated as it was in the immediate neighborhood of Inde- 
pendence Hall and within the sound of the bell that proclaimed 
"Liberty throughout the land," Pennsylvania was the mother of 
many patriots, and from within her humble walls were gradu- 
ated a notable number of men who, at the risk of life and 
liberty, became prominent rebels against the domination of

Britain and who incurred the hostility of those who retained 
their loyalty to the Crown. 

In the period previous to the year 1800, Benjamin Franklin 
and nine others were signers of the Declaration of Independence; 
nine were signers of the Constitution, including two men not 
graduates who afterward received honorary degrees ; twenty- 
one were members of the Continental Congress ; nine were 
in the Senate of the United States ; eight were attorneys-general 
of States or of the United States; six were justices of the Su- 
preme Court; seven were governors of States; and many other 
officers in the Army and men in public life might be named as 
having received their education at the old buildings at Fourth 
and Arch Streets before 1800.

The College was closed for a period of fifteen months during 
the occupation of Philadelphia by the British army in 1777 and 
177S, vvlien the buildings were used by the F)ritish troops. They 
were also used for a time b}' the soldiers of the Continental 
army. In 1778 Congress met m the old College Hall, and mem- 
bers of the Congress, President Washington and his cabinet 
attended the public functions and commencement exercises. 

'1 he University has taken a leading part in every national crisis. 
l)cfore the June Commencement of 1017, nearly seventy per cent, 
of the Law School students and two-tifths of the medical faculty 
had enlisted. 

Special schools have been conducted for training Medical 
Officers in oral, neurological, orthopedic and general surgery ; also 
Schools of .Xavigation; Army Ordnance and special courses for 
nurses, for signal service and other work.

In 1918, there were about 7000 students and alumni in the gov- 
ernment service. There were three Ambulance Units ; a Base 
Hospital Unit; Red Cross and other units. All of the buildings, 
laboratories, athletic and other facilities were tendered to and ac- 
cei)ted by the government for the summer of 1918. There were 
2,000 students in a student battalion in i(>i7, and in 1918, a Re- 
serve ( )ffic(.-rs' Training Corps was organized. 

While the IVovosts of the University during its early years 
were most of them clergymen, the I'niversity was, from the 
start, free from sectarian or denominational bias. The early 



17 

boards of trustees included Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Bap- 
tists, Moravians and Quakers. The earliest society of Unitarian 
Christians in America was organized in this first building of the 
University on June 12, 1796, under the influence of Joseph 
Priestley, widely known as a thoughtful philosopher, as the dis- 
coverer of oxygen and as the founder of modern chemistry. 
Very curiously, two years before, on November 11, 1794, Dr. 
Priestley was unanimously elected Professor of Chemistry 3'

the University, an honor which he greatly appreciated but de- 
clined because he had already established himself elsewhere, 
as is further set forth by Provost Edgar F. Smith in his "Chem- 
istry in America." 

The fi.rst American University Professorship in Law was estab- 
lished in 1790 and James Wilson was appointed to the position. 
Washington attended his lectures.

In 1783 the University conferred on Washington the degree of 
LL.D., and later celebrated his birthday, which was formally set 
apart in 1826 in the University Calendar as an annual observance. 
The day is known to^ the students and alumni as "University 
Day" and is celebrated by appropriate exercises. 

Increasing numbers caused the trustees to seek larger quarters 
in the beginning of the nineteenth century. Relieving that the 
seat of government of the nation would remain in Philadelphia, 
the State of Pennsylvania had i)uilt a "Presidential Mansion" 
at Ninth and Chestnut Streets, on the site now occupied by the 
Post Office. For reasons not necessary to recount, neither Wash- 
ington nor Adams occupied the mansion and when the capital 
was removed to Washington. D. C. the building was purchased 
by the trustees of the University of Pemisylvania. 

In i8()j tile College. Medical, and Law Schools were moved 
into this building and occupied it until i8j(). when it was de- 
molished and two buildings were erected on the same ground, 
one for the College and the other for the Medical School. 

The University remained in the two buildings at Ninth and 
Chestnut Streets until 1872. when the necessity for larger build- 
ings and more extensive grounds became urgent and the present 
site was secured in West Philadelphia. The buildings of green 
seri)entine stone, the College. Logan Hall, the llare Laboratory 
and the main building of the University Hospital were erected in 
the years immediately following. 

There have been twelve Provosts of the University: the 
thirteenth and present guide of its destiny is Edgar Fahs Smith.

Benjamin Franklin was the first president of the Board of 
Trustees, being elec:ed in 1749 and serving in that capacity until 
1756. and again from 1781) to 1790. The other i)residents who 
served before 1800 were: Rev. Richard Peters, Hon. James 
Hamilton, Hon. John Penn, Hon. Richard Penn, Rt. Rev. William 
White. 

It will be seen, then, that it was during the administration of 
Provost Stille that the University moved to West Philadelphia 
and a period of i)hysical expansion ensued which has continued 
during forty years, at the beginning of which, or in 1873, the 
University may be said to have entered upon a new era. 

During the administration of Provost Stille the University 
Hospital was established and the main building of green ser-

peiitiiic stone was built ; the Towne Scientific Scliool was founded 
and allotted a wing of the College; the Department of Music 
was c'stahlislu'd : the Dental School was founded with an oi)er- 
ating room in Mare Laboratory. 

The expansion of the University during the administration of 
I'rovo^t I'ejjper by the addition of new departments is a wonder- 
ful recttrd and it has been inscribed for all time on the pedestal

School of I'^inance and Commerce; the l)iok)gical Department; 
the Department of l^hilosophy, now the Craduate School; the 
Veterinary School; the Training School for Nurses; the Depart- 
ment of Physical Education; the Ihiiversity Library; the Gradu- 



21 

ate Department for Women; the Department of Hygiene; the 
Department of Architecture ; the Wistar Instityte of Anatomy 
and Biology; the VVilHam Pepper Laboratory of Clinical Medi- 
cine; the Department of Archaeology and Paleontology, and the 
University Museum. In addition to these the Free Library oJ 
Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Commercial Museums were 
the creations of his remarkable activity and genius. 

The buildings erected during his term of office were : the 
Library, the Heat and Light Station, the Laboratory of Hygiene, 
Pepper Laboratory, Wistar Institute, the Old Veterinary Build- 
ings (which occupied the present site of the new Medical Labor- 
atories), and Botanical Hall. 

During the administration of Provost Harrison the Houston 
Club was organized; the Flower Astronomical Observatory was 
opened ; the Summer School was added to the College ; College 
Courses for Teachers were established ; the Evening School of 
Finance and Accounts was established, and the Henry Phipps 
Institute was transferred to the University. 

Among the buildings erected were : Houston Hall ; the Harri- 
son Laboratory of Chemistry; the Engineering Building for the 
Towne Scientific School; the Law School Building; the Gym- 
nasium, Training House and Stadium on Franklin Field ; the 
New Medical Laboratories ; the Veterinary Building ; the Clini- 
cal Building ; the Flower Astronomical Observatory, and twenty- 
seven Dormitory Houses. 

The Phipps Institute Building, the New Zoological Building 
and part of the Veterinary Buildings were started during Provost 
Harrison's term and completed during the present term of office 
of Provost Smith. 

Aside from all this Provost Harrison raised more funds for 
the endowment of professorships, fellowships, scholarships and 
buildings than all of his predecessors combined, starting with a 
liberal gift of his own which will ultimately amount to a million 
dollars. 

When Dr. Harrison planned the establishment of the Houston 
Club, which has so successfully welded the great cosmopolitan 
body of students into one democratic brotherhood, he little 
thought that the success of this project at the University of 
Pennsylvania would influence scores of colleges and universities 
in all parts of the world to organize similar clubs, and that the 
Houston Club idea would become a world-wide movement in 
college life. Another feature of his term was the establishment 
in 1901 of the bureau now known as the Recorder's Office, the 
influence of which has also become world-wide, and through 
its channels not only the alumni but the entire educational world 
have been kept in touch with the University of Pennsylvania. 
Durmg the existence of this bureau the number of students has 
increased from 2,573 to 9,342 just l^efore the war, notwithstanding 
the fact that almost every department has increased its entrance

rc(iiiiromciits and tlu- standards of its ooiirsos and also the tu- 
ition Iris. l*roin a doU'^ation of 115 studi'nts rcprrsi-ntiiiK 
t\vcnt\-six foreign countries, the University has had, in recent 
years, from Joo to j().s foreign students each year — representing 
lort\' to tifly countries; and the nuniher of students from phices 
otiier than i*ennsyi\ ania has increased from 7(j() to nu)re than 
-'400. ('fid I'l-iiii (now known as tlie I'niiisyh'ania (lazi'ttc), the 
olhcial \veekl\ of the I'niversity. was founded. The Recorder's 
olTice fias gra<hiall\- accnnndaled hirge collections of valuahle in- 
formation and material. 

Since the installation of I'rovost I'.d.uar 1'. Smith the ])roi.;ress 
of the I'niversity has heen more than sustained. The new huild- 
ini; oi the Mental I )e|)artmi'nl, the most complete and itu|)osinjj[ 
edilice dexoted to the scienci- of dentistrx , was Imished ; a new 
wSmgical Muilding and a new Maternit\' Ihiilding have heen added 
to the Hospital, increasing its cai)acit\ to almost 5(X) hcds ; to 
tin- l.iltrary was addi'd the Dnhring Miinorial Stack Building, 
which gi\es the l.ihrary a capacity- of more than a million vol- 
umes; large and important additions have heen made to the 
Museum; live new dormitory huildings have heen added, one 
heing deviated to the women students at the University. A 
numher of new huildings are contemi)lated, such as a Chapel, 
(Iraduate School, Wharton School, Architectural School and Ad- 
ministration Building. 

P.ut the present administration of the University is conserva- 
tive as to physical expansion and devoted to the further advance 
of the schools in scholarship, advocating tlie study of the Classics 
hy all students in the College as indispensahle to those who de- 
sire to make the most of themselves and their collegiate and 
suhscquent career. 

C^ne of the most j>rominent features of this administration 
was till" division in Se])tendH>r. lot-, of the C(dlege into three 
departments The ("ollege. The Towne Scientihc School, and 
The Wharton School — and the appointment of a dean for each 
school. 

.Xnotluf important nuuemnU was the extension of University 
courses. The Uni\ersity of Pennsylvania holds a dominating posi- 
tion in the educational system of the State. It has inaugurated 
many movements for sound and sane education. It continues to 
he the Universit\' of the people and has alwavs olYered its services 
to all. 

In order to make these ser\ ices more elfecti\e, h'xtension 
Schools under the direct ii>n of the Wharton School o\ h'inancc 
and C\')nunerce have heen estahlished at W'ilkes-Barre and Scran- 
ton, in i<)i,^, and in llarrishurg and keading the following" \ear. 
and all have met with success hoth as to tlu' mnnher of students 
and the hearty approval and co operation of the civic authori 
lies. Lecture comses and educational courses at llarrishurg, 
.Mtoona, W'illiamsport and other centers have met with etjual

success, and an annual feature known as "Schoolmen's Week" 
was established in 1913 for the benefit of school superintendents, 
principals, normal school teachers and members of boards of 
education. Jn 1914 a School of Education was established as a 
separate department of the University, with its own faculty and 
dean ; and in 1916 a ]>>ejjartment of Military Science and Tactics 
•was instituted. 

The relations of the University to the pco]>le of the City of 
Philadelphia and its environs have been made closer by the 
establishment at the beginning of the academic year 1913-14 of

a course of free public lectures by members of the faculty, on 
Saturday afternoons, in Houston Hall. The number of lectures 
by members of foreign and American universities and eminent 
authors and scientists has also been increased so that there are 
now as many as 150 lectures, for the benefit of the public, given 
each year. Many of these are illustrated with lantern- slides 
and moving pictures. So great has been the acceptance of these 
privileges that on some occasions hundreds of people have been 
turned away, thus emphasizing the \(try pressing need for a 
larger auditorium. 

The environment of the University of Pennsylvania is the rich- 
est in America in historical interest. Its campus of one hundred 



24 

and seventeen acres along the west banks of the Schuylkill River 
is only ten minutes' ride from City Hall, the center of a popu- 
lation of nearly two millions. The campus is diversified with 
terraces, smooth lawns and a great variety of trees. Many of 
the buildings are overgrown with ivy and partly concealed be- 
hind bushes and foliage. The Botanic Gardens, with their 
heavily shaded walks twining around flower beds, the lily and 
lotus ponds, the greenhouses, filled with collections of rare 
plants from all parts of the world; and Hamilton Walk, shaded 
with tall poplars, weeping willows, maples, oaks and other Amer- 
ican shade trees planted as memorials to eminent Pennsylvanians 
— all combine to form a pleasing and restful prospect. 




THE DORMITORIES FROM THE BOTANIC GARDENS. 



Fairmount Park is about fifteen minutes' walk from the Col- 
lege. Its three thousand five hundred acres of hills and valleys 
are rich in natural beauty, divided by the placid Schuylkill River 
and the Wissahickon Creek, the latter flowing through one of the 
most picturesque of the smaller gorges of America. 

On the banks of the Schuylkill is the College Boat-house, 
where students may secure boats, shells or canoes for practice 
or for a spin upon the National Rowing Course. The river has 
been the scene of many races of American college crews, and is 
the course upon which the national regattas are held. The River 
Drive extends from the Pennsylvania Boat-house along the east 
bank of the Schuylkill and up the Wissahickon Creek for a dis- 



25 

tance of eleven miles. The plans of the City Parks Association 
provide for the extension of the park system so that the Uni- 
versity campus will ultimately be connected by a boulevard with 
Fairmount Park on the north and with Bartram's Botailic Gar- 
dens on the south, and also with numerous small parks. 

The principal buildings of the University, except those of 
Phipps Institute and the xAstronomical Observatory, are located 
on the grounds in West Philadelphia. Phipps Institute is at 
Lombard and Seventh Streets and the Astronomical buildings 
are located on a hill a few miles from the campus, away from 
the hazy sky and vibrations of the city. Including the dormitory 
houses, there are more than seventy buildings and wings used 
to carry on the work of the Lhiiversity. Besides these, many 
of the fraternities and the Mask and Wig Club occupy buildings

of their own, while the Christian Association has several build- 
ings in the Schuylkill River district devoted to settlement work. 

The Philadelphia Museum and the Philadelphia Hospital are 
on adjoining grounds, the latter, with the University Hospital, 
offering exceptional opportunity for clinical and ward study by 
the students of the Medical School, 

The location of the University near the center of a great city 
affords to its students unusual facilities for supplementing their 
courses by practical work and for completing their academic 
training. Thus, the students in Finance and Commerce and in 
Engineering have the privilege of visiting many of the most 



26 

extensive iiulustrial plants in the worUl. The American Philo- 
sophical Society, h'rankiin Instilnte, the American Academy oi 
Xatnral Sciences, and similar orj^anizalions have their head- 
qnarters and collections in the city, tt) which slndents interested 
in the sciences are always made welcome. Law stndents may 
witness the trials of cases in all of the conrts of the city and 
State, and in one of the h'ederal conrts. 

i'\)r a century and a half Philadelphia has heen recoj^nized as 
the medical center oi .\merica. W ithin its limits there are five 
metlical schools, two dental schools, one school i^i pharmacy and 
one of veterinar>- medicine, and in all of these, sexeral thousand 
students are enrolled every year. There are n\so several i)ost- 
{.^raduate schools, a nnmher oi museums and medical lihraries, 
and si\ty-ti\e .yeneral hospitals.

The Christian .\ssociation is an active factor in the moral and 
social interests of the students. I'nder its supervision is con- 
ducted the settlement work in the Schuylkill Piver district, and 
under the direction of an allied hoard of trustees is the Uni- 
versity of Pennsylvania Medical Scln)ol in China. The .Xssocia- 
tion also conducts a summer camp on a picturescpie tract of 
woodland in the Perkiomen \'alley. Here it entertains more 
than a thousand settlement children every summer, each child 
remaining at least two wei-ks. The dailx' chapel siTxice, the 
Sunday scr\ices for studi-nts. and the l'.mplo>ineiit Piireau are 
amoii.u the man>- activities of the .Association. 

It has always heen the aim of tlu' faculty to encoinai.;e a spirit 
of good fellowship among the students. The iirst and most 



27 



effective step in this direction was the organization of the 
Houston Club, of which we have already spoken, and which, 
in the fall of 1896, moved into one of the most handsome club 
houses in Philadelphia. About the club as a center revolves the 
social life of the University. The approach is imposing and the 
spacious vestibule leads into a large reception room. From its 
heavy beamed ceilings hang chandeliers of dull brass ; upon the 
walls, paneled with quartered oak, are trophies of the hunt and 
rare paintings and engravings ; scattered over the room and 
around the high open fireplaces are oak and leather-upholstered 
easy chairs and settees ; the highly polished hard-wood floors 
are covered with oriental rugs. Comfortable window-seats are 
provided along all windows and in the alcoves. In the building 
are several billiard rooms, a supply store, a barber shop, trophy

rooms, society rooms, photographer's dark room, dining room, 
and the large and beautiful auditorium with a pipe organ. The 
auditorium is used as a chapel, for the daily religious services, 
lecture-s, smokers, balls, dances, dinners, receptions and student 
entertainments. Every male student, upon matriculating, be- 
comes a member of the Club and of the Gymnasium. 
_ The Dormitory Houses are thirty-two in number, all erected 
since 1895. All these buildings, except Sergeant Hall, a dormi- 
tory on Thirty-fourth Street for women students, are of the 
late Tudor Gothic style, and are named for their donors or for 
distinguishei alumni. All of the houses face one of the five 



courtyards, the entrance to which is through either of two gate- 
ways known as "Memorial Tower," and "Provosts' Tower." 
These two entrances insure i)rivacy to the residents. The houses 
are not communicating, luich has its own staircase and en- 
trance leading into one of the courtyards. Student self- 
government is a feature of the dormitory system. The rooms arc 
cheerful and homelike; the interior woodwork is fmished in dark 
quartered oak, and the furniture is of the same material. Many 
of the rooms have window seats and open fireplaces. The poor- 
est student receives the same service and attention as the wealth- 
iest, the onl}^ difference hcing in the location and size of the 
rooms. The courtyards, the "Dorm Steps," "The Terrace'* and 
other familiar spots about the dormitories are favorite meeting

places for rehearsals of college songs and cheers, for mass meet- 
ings and reunions, and for celebrating victories. Although the 
comforts and conveniences are greater and the environment 
more pleasant than those of the average boarding house, the cost 
of living at the Lhiiversity dormitories is usually somewhat less. 
The general mingling of the students incident to dormitory life 
and fostered by the Houston Club and the Ciymnasium has 
greatly strengthened the fellowship of the students, so that 
Pennsylvania may claim to be one of the most democratic as 
well as one of the most cosmopolitan of universities. In ath- 
letics, also, the regulations adopted by the l)ei)artment of Physi- 
cal Education have brought about . the desired fraternal con- 
ditions, 'i he students who show exceptional ability, and who 
make 'Varsity teams, are no longer the only ones who use the 



29 

Gymnasium, the athletic fields and boat-houses, but all students 
are now obliged to take some form of physical exercise. Each 
student, upon matriculating, is examined by the Director of 
Physical Education, who is also Professor of Physical Educa- 
tion, and who prescribes the amount and character of exercise 
necessary to keep the student in health while at the University,

a monthly record being kept of his development. This method 
not only gives many men, whose ability might otherwise never 
have been discovered, opportunities to make athletic teams ; but, 
what is more important, the men leave the University better 
equipped physically. 



30 



Every sport popular among American college students is sup- 
ported by the students of the University. During the spring and 
the early weeks of summer, most of the out-of-door sports are 
in vogue, such as baseball, track athletics, cricket, temiis. lacrosse, 
golf and rowing. bootball is the ])rincipal attraction during 
autunni. although cross-country running, gunning and some oi 
the spring spt)rts and games receive attention, .\mong the indoor 
sports and games i)oi)ular among the students during the winter 
seasons, are basket-ball, wrestling, fencing, sparring, swimming. 
water i)t)lo and gynmastics. The lu>me contests are usually held

on bVanklin b'ield, which is fitted up with a ipiarter-mile track, 
a baseball diamond, a football field and acconunodations for 
field sports. Stands with a seating capacity of ^o.ixx) enclose 
three sides of the tield, the fourth side being taken i\\) by the 
(lynmasium building and two memorial gates. Unilerneath the 
stands are indoi)r tracks and the winter training tpiarters for 
the track team. At the amuial Relay Athletic I'arnival, which 
has become the largest and the most important athletic meet 
in the United States, athletes from every section of the United 
States and even occasionally some from abroad meet on Franklin 
V\v\i\ to compete in track and tield sports. The team entries for 
these races in I()H> included sc\(.ral thousanil athletes from all 



31 

parts of America and in 1914 one four-mile relay team came 
from Oxford University, England. 

During the winter social functions are frequent. Fraternities 
give teas and dances ; the clubs and societies of the professional 
departments give smokers, dinners and banquets; the glee, banjo 
and mandolin clubs and other musical organizations give con- 
certs ; the various dramatic societies give their annual plays ; and 
the literary societies hold debates with similar societies from 
other colleges ; and debating teams selected from the entire 
student body meet teams from other universities.

STUDENTS 

Student life at any institution would be fincomplcte without 
college papers. Pennsylvania is no exception to this rule ;- its 
students publish a daily paper, one literary monthly and one 
comic magazine. The University also publishes every week the 
Chronicle, containing a list of events to take place the week 
following the day of publication, and Old Pcnn, a weekly review 
of all University news. The General Alumni Society sends 
to its members a monthly magazine, The Alumni Register. The 
Law and Dental Schools, the Towne Scientific School, the De- 
partment of Psychology, the Wistar Institute, and other depart- 
ments of the University also publish magazines devoted to the 
interests of their respective professions. 

The most prominent social and dramatic event of the year is 
the Easter Week production of the Mask and Wig Club. For 



32 

twenty-nine successive years the cluh has staged a new play in 
the nature of an extravaganza or burlesque, the book and the 
music being written by its members. The cast and chorus gen- 
erally include from seventy-five to one hundred undergraduates. 
The first presentation is usually at Atlantic City on Saturday; 
eight performances are given during the following week in a 
leading IMiiladclphia iheaItT, after which single night stands are

made at several cities upon the requests of the alumni. The 
Mask and Wig pla\s have been given in New ^'ork, Buffalo, 
Rochester. Boston. \ew llaven. Pittsburgh. Washington. Balti- 
more, Richmond, Wilmington and W ilkes Barre. From its sur- 
plus earnings the club made many valuable gifts to the Uni- 
versity, which with a dormitory house and the new Provost's 
Residence near the campus, would aggregate close to a hundred 
thousand dollars. 

Other dramatic events are the amuial original plays and 
artistic costume balls of the Architectural School, the presenta- 
tion of I'Vench pla>s by the Cercle b>ani;ais ; of (lerman i)lays by 
the Deutscher Verein ; of Italian i)lays by the Circolo Italiano ; 
of Old Knglish plays by the Philomathean Society and Zelo- 
sophic Society. The production in May. 1916, of "The Comedj' 
of Errors" by the Philomathean Society in a specially constructed 



33 

theatre, modeled after the Globe Theatre in London, was one 
of the principal features of the Shakespeare Tercentenary Cele- 
brations in America. Almost every year some big open-air 
festival is given on the campus. In the spring of 1915, under 
the auspices of the University a company of English actors gave 
"Iphigenia in Taurus" and "The Trojan Women" before an 
audience of more than ten thousand people. 




CAST OF A FRENCH PLAY PRODUCED BY THE CERCLE FRANCAIS. 

In June, 1916, was given, under the auspices of the University, 
a production of "Aida" — which was the most magnificent open- 
air opera ever given in America. 

There are numerous student organizations within the Uni- 
versity. Membership in many of them, such as the musical 
societies, dramatic clubs, automobile, camera and athletic clubs, 
and Christian Association, is open to all students ; membership 
in others is restricted to students of the professional depart- 
ments, to men of particular political or religious beliefs or of 
certain scholastic standing. There are about fifty Greek letter 
fraternities, twelve general societies, twenty college societies, 
ten medical societies, seven law clubs, four dental societies, one 
veterinary society, twelve preparatory school clubs, twenty-six 
undergraduate class organizations and fifty sectional clubs ; the 
last named being composed of men coming from the same coun- 
tries, states or counties. Besides the class organizations, there 
are also eight local and almost a hundred alumni societies. 



Among the customs peculiar to students at Pennsylvania were 
the annual "iiowl Fij^ht." "i'oster Fight." "Chapel Fight." the 
"May Day Sports," etc. The "P.owl Fight" which used to mark 
the end of all differences hetvveen the Sophomore and F'reshman 
classes, was a time-honored custom at the University and one 
of the most characteristic institutions in American colleges. 
Ihe l!()\vl I'ight was abolished by the undergraduates because 
of an accident which resulted in the death of one of the 
students. Hazing has been abolished for many years. The 
"May Day S])orts" had their origin when in i<S()8. the stu- 
dents in the Dormitories, attired in their night-clothes, were

called out by some of their number to celebrate Dewey's victory, 
l^ver since, the night of the First of May has been set apart for 
a student parade, a huge bonbre, wrestling, tug-of-war and other 
sports, on Franklin F^ield. 

r.rief sketches of each of the various departments and schools 
of the University and descriptions of the buildings in which 
they arc housed will be found on succeeding pages. 

We acknowledge the loyalty and self-sacrificing spirit of the 
alumni, the faculty and the officers of administration during one 
hundred and sevent3'-five years, and during the past few years 
the generous assistance of the city and State. The University 
is not the gift of a single philanlhronist or of a group of men, 
but of many. With meagre endowment and often with strained 
resources the University has won a place among the foremost 
in scholarship as well as in ecpiipment.

idea of a university. It is locateil within ten miiuites' ride of the 
center of a metropolis of a populatitin of ahuost two millions. 
Its campus consists of 117 acres, on which there are iui>re than 
seventy Iniiltlings, besides many cluh and fraternity houses, 
ilere more than iS,(xh> students are drawn annually from every 
State in the Lhiion, and from forty li\e to lift>- ft)rt.'i!.;n coun-

"To the rii^ht (pointini; t(^ the huildin.u at the southwest corner 
of Thirty- fourth uid Chestnut Streets) is the Law School 
HuildiuK which was erected in kkh). It is devoted exclusively 
to the teachinj; of law, and is considered one of the hest speci- 
luens in America of hjif^lish classical architecture of the time of

side of ihe street, the lar.ye red structure on the campus is the 
(leneral Library P.uildin.Li. erected in iStii, and the J^nhrinp: 
Memorial erected in 1015. It contains about 500,000 volumes,

one of these is the 'Menu>rial Library of the Publications of 
the University (^f Pennsylvania and ller Sons,' which contains 
several thousand vt)lumes oi writins^s by University of Peim

"(Going west on Woodland Avenue, and approaching the mid- 
dle of the square.) The large centrally located, ivy-covered 
building in the middle of the campus to the left is College Hall. 
This was erected in 1873, and is one of the original group of 
buildings to be located in West Philadelphia. The academic or 
arts courses are given in this building. The houses to the right of 
us are known as 'I'Vaternity Row,' and are occupied by the Delta 
Phi, Delta Tau Delta and Ijcta Theta Pi, and Omega Tau Sigma. 
The small one, known as 'Alumni Hall,' was formerly occupied by 
the General Alumni Society. More than eighty thousand men have 
attended the University since it was founded, and those now liv- 
ing are all eligible t(^ membership in this society. The first floor is

campus to our left is Logan Hall, which is also one of the orig- 
inal buildmgs. It was formerly occupied by the Medical School, 
but is now the home of the Wharton School of Finance and Com- 
merce. This school was established in 1883 and was the first of 
its kmd in the world. Many other university schools have since 
been organized along similar lines.

"The vacant lot with tennis courts to our right (pointing to 
alnuU the middle of the square) is the site of the new home of 
the Wharton School. We are now approaching the dormitories. 
The tower directly before us, to our left, is the main entrance 
to one of the doriuitory courtyards, known as 'The Triangle.' 
The tower was dedicated in i()oi. and is a memorial to the 
Peiuisyhania students and alumni who were engaged in the 
Spanish Atuerican W ar.

modated. When the system is C()m])]etefl it will include a 
dining hall and an auditorium. The arcliitecture is the old Tudor 
(iothic style, and with their wide courtyards they strongly sug- 
gest the Oxford and Cambridge colleges of England. Every 
student, rich or poor, receives the same service, accommodations 
and furnishings, the only distinction being in the location of 
the rooms. 

"The architecture of these dcjrmitories and most of the mod- 
ern buildings on the campus, is of the same general style, which 
originated at this University and which has been followed by 
many other institutions. 

"(Approaching Thirty-ninth and Woodland Avenue, and point- 
ing to the large brick structure at Thirty-ninth and Woodland 
Avenue.) To our right are the buildings of the Veterinary 
School and Hospital of the University. This plant is the most 
spacious and best equipped veterinary building and hospital in 
America. The buildings occui^y almost an entire square, and are 
constructed around a courtyard. The State Livestock Sanitary 
Board also has its laboratories here. 

"One square above, at Fortieth and wSpruce Streets, is the Evans 
Dental Institute and Dental School of the University of Penn- 
sylvania. It is the largest and best equipped plant in existence

The stretch hefore us is Hamilton Walk. On either side arc 
trees which have heen planted as memorials to eminent reim- 
sylvanians. To the left of us arc the dormitory houses, which 
form the southern houndary of various courts. The first huild 
\u^ to our ri.uht is the Zoido^ical nuildin}L». It contains ninety- 
two rooms, and is devoted entirely to study and research work 
in zor>lo}^y. The '.ie\t huihlinvi to om* ri).;ht is the Vivarium. 
which contains fresh and salt water tanks for live specimens 
for zoological research.

"The next building to our right, completely covered with ivy, 
is Botanical Hall, and immediately in the rear are the green- 
houses ; among the plants housed there are a number of rare 
and valuable collections of orchids and fly-trap plants. In the 
hall itselT are the famous Bartram and Stille P)Otanical IJbraries. 
Behind this group of buildings are the botanical gardens, in 
which there are several thousand species and varieties of plants. 
The gardens cover four acres, and with the beautiful lily and 
lotus ponds form one of the most attractive features of the 
campus. 

"(CJoing further down the walk.) To the right of us is the 
Medical Laboratory Building. The medical school of the Uni- 
versity is the oldest in North America, having been founded in 
1765. The school occupies six educational buildings, of which 
this is the most imposing. The architecture is distinctly Penn- 
sylvanian, and in keeping with the other new structures of the 
University. To the left of us is the site for the extension of 
the dormitory system. This will ultimately be completely en- 
closed with dormitory buildings. The frame building to our 
left is the old time dining hall, now used by the Architectural 
School as a studio. 

"(Going north on Thirty-sixth Street.) To the south of us 
is the Philadelphia Hospital, with a capacity of more than five 
thousand patients, and in which the University medical students 
frequently have bedside instruction. To the right of us are two 
squares of hospital buildings belonging tp the University, with a 
capacity of almost five hundred beds. The brick building im- 
mediately to our right is the Maternity Building. The next 
buildings to our left are part of the dormitory system, and form 
part of the boundaries of the east and south quads. They are 
the Thomas Penn House, Graduate House, and the Provosts' 
Tower, the latter being dedicated to the men who served as 
Provo.sts since the beginning of the University, and the Mask and 
Wig House on the corner. 

"(Passing now through the Class of ''J2 Memorial Gate and 
turning down Spruce Street, point towards the yellow building at 
Thirty-sixth and Spruce Streets.) That is the southern end of 
the Wistar Institute of Anatomy. (Then turning down Spruce.) 
To the left of us is the Robert Hare Chemical Laboratory, used 
by the medical students. The brick building to the right is the 
William Pepper Clinical Laboratory, a memorial to the father 
of the late Provost Pepper. The next building to the right is 
the Clinical Building of the Hospital. It is planned to recon- 
struct the front elevations of all the hospital buildings to con- 
form to this one. 

"(Then pointing through the gateway opposite.) That is the 
Memorial Gate of the Class of '93 ; looking through it we see 
several fraternity houses in the distance, and also the rears of 
Logan Hall and College Hall.

"The gray stone building to our left, directly in front of us, is 
Houston Mall, the home of the Houston Club, to which more than 
eight thousand students and alumni of the University belong. 
The building was named in memory of Henry Howard Hous- 
ton. Jr.. a graduate of the Class of 187S, the hall being the gift 
of his parents. It was designed by two University students. 
The architecture is T'lizabethan. The building is furnished and 
equipped as well as the most exclusive clubs in the city. Upon 
the walls of this building are so many portraits of Provosts and 
eminent alumni, and memorial tablets to illustrious Pennsyl- 




vanians. that -the students sometimes refer to their club house as 
'The Westminster Abbey of Pennsylvania.' This club is the geo- 
graphical center of the University, and around it revolves the 
social life of the students. Here the men of all departments, 
rich and poor, fraternity and non- fraternity men of all conditions 
of life and nationalities, meet daily on common ground. This 
movement also originated at Pennsylvania, and has been one 
of the most successful factors in fostering a democratic spirit 
among the students. The Houston Club idea has been taken 



4? 



up by other educational institutions and there are now many 
similar organizations throughout the country. 

"The next building to our right is the main entrance to the 
University Hospital ; and the next, the Agnew Surgical Pavilion, 
named in honor of the late D. Hayes Agnew, the eminent Ameri- 
can surgeon who was so long connected with the University. 
The building next to it at the corner is the Surgical Building 
of the Hospital, and behind it are the dormitories for the 
Nurses' Training School. 

"To the left is a section of campus showing the rear of College 
Hall and the Library. The next building to our left is the Light,

Heat and Power Station. This station supplies light, heat and 
power to all of the University buildings, and heats about twenty- 
one million cubic feet of air space. It consumes at times one 
hundred and thirty tons of coal a day. The building to our left 
(pointing to the northeast corner of Thirty-fourth and Spruce 
Streets) is the John Harrison Laboratory of Chemistry — the gift 
of the former Provost and his brothers. In this building are 
also the offices of the present Provost, Dr. Edgar F. Smith. 

"The building to the right is a section of the Archaeological 
Museum of the University. This section was erected in 1897, 
and the large dome in the rear was finished in 1915. It is con- 



44 

sidered one of the most beautiful circhitectural monuments in 
the city. The Museum building when completed will cover twelve 
acres of ground, and \vill cost more than three million dollars. 
The section you now see is about one-sixth of the building as 
it will be. The architecture is the only specimen of its kind in 
America, and is similar to the style which prevailed in Italy in 
the thirteenth century. The buiUling contains a very valuable 
collection of anti(iuities. among them being the famous clay 
bricks from Babylon, an American Indian collection, and the 
earliest known fragments of the Gos])el. The statue on the 
terrace is that of the late Provost William Pepper. In the rear 
are the grounds for the extension of the University, and the 
buildings of the Commercial Museums. 

"(Turning up Thirty third Street.) To the right of us is the 
Gymnasium and Franklin Field. These also represent an outlay

of more than a million dollars. The field, which can accommo- 
date about 30,CXK) people, is the scene of most of Pennsylvania's 
football, baseball, track and miscellaneous athletic contests, and 
also for many years was the scene of the annual football game 
between the United States Naval and Military Academies. In 
the Gymnasium is a swimming pool which extends almost the 
entire length of the ground floor. 

"The red brick building to our left is old Dental Hall, now 
used entirely by the Architectural School, the largest and most 
excellent school of its kind in America. The large building 
directly in front of this is the Engineering Hall. It has a floor 
area of 128,000 square feet, and houses the Mechanical, Civil 
and Electrical Engineering Departments. 

"We have now visited most of the important buildings of the 
University, with the exception of the Astronomical Observatory, 
the Phipi)s Institute for the Treatment and Study of Tuberu- 
losis, the Southeastern Disi)ensary, and the Universit}^ Neighbor- 
hood House. These are located in other ])arts of the city. What 



45 

you have seen can give you only a brief insight of the physical 
equipment of this great institution. To, thoroughly investigate its 
educational side would take many weeks of close observation, 
and to learn anything of the students' life, one must live among 
them. The campus and all the buildings and museums are open 
to the public from sunrise to sunset, and every visitor is sure 
of a cordial welcome." 




MEMORIAL GATE OF THE CLASS OF 1893. 

CAMPUS. — The campus of the University covers an area 
of one hundred and seventeen acres. It is within a short distance 
of the geographical center of Philadelphia and can be reached 
in ten minutes from the City Hall, the center of a population 
of almost two millions of people. No other educational insti- 
tution of equal size is located so near to the heart of a great 
city. The grounds extend from the Schuylkill River at Thirtieth 
Street on the east to Fortieth Street on the west and from 



46 

Chestnut Street on the north to near Carpenter Street on the 
south. The grounds are oi)en to visitors daily, except Sunday, 
from sunrise to sunset.' The University also owns a tract of 
ground on the West Chester Pike, on which are located the 
buildings of the Astronomical Observatory; these are open to 
visitors on Thursday evenings. Arrangements may be made at 
the office of the Recorder of the University to have parties of 
visitors taken over the campus and through the principal build- 
ings and museums. 

EQUIPMENT. — There are more than seventy buildings 
used to carry on the work of the University; of these nineteen are 
devoted to teaching, eleven to hospitals and auxiliary buildings, 
thirty dormitory houses, and the remainder to recreation hall, 
gymnasium, athletics, etc. Not included among these are thirty 
or forty club and fraternity houses. 

HOUSTON HALL, the students' club house of the Uni- 
versity' was formally dedicated on January 2. 1896, in memory of 
Henry Howard Houston. Jr., a graduate of the Class of 1878 
College, by his parents, H. H. and S. S. Houston. The corner 
stone was laid on December 22, 1894. The building has a front- 
age on Spruce Street of 150 feet and a depth of 78 feet; it is 
constructed of North Conshohocken and Indiana limestone ; and 
its approximate cost was $250,000. It was designed by two 
graduates of the School of Architecture of the University, Wil- 
liam C. Hays and M. B. Medary, Jr., in a competition, the first 
and second ])rizes being awarded to them. The building is a 
combination of the two designs, the exterior plans of the second- 
prize design being used uvichanged. The design was developed 
and the work executed under I'Vank Miles Day, with Messrs. 
Hays and Medary as associate architects. The style of archi- 
tecture is inspired f»-om early Elizabethan examples and may be 
called "English Collegiate." The building is three stories high 
and is one of the most spacious and best furnished club houses 
in Philadelphia. The interior finish is of quartered oak, in 
dark brown shades. Supporting the roof of the auditorium on 
the second floor are trusses of elaborate design, adapted from 
those in the Great Hall at Eltham Palace, Kent. The device used 
in a decorative way so frequently is an interweaving of Howard 
Houston's initials with the Early Christian symbol of "The 
Lamb of God." 

On the first floor is a spacious lounging or general reception 
room. In the east wing arc writing rooms and a library reading 
room, in which are kept current magazines and newspapers and a 
library of the best I'Jiglish literature; the west wing of the first 
floor and part of the basement are fitted up with billiard and ])0()1 
tables, supply store, barber shop, etc. The otlices of the club, 
the cloak room, and the University branch oi the United State? 
post olTice are located on the first floor. 




y0^\ 



48 

On the second floor is a restaurant, an auditorium with a grand 
organ, and a suite of three "Trophy Rooms." In tlie latter are 
displayed many prizes won in athletic competition, and on the 
walls are panels and tablets giving the names and records of dis- 
tinguished athletes. The Christian Association of the University 
also occupies a suite of rooms on this floor. 

On the third floor are the offices of the Recorder of the Univer- 
sity, and a dark room for amateur i)hotographers, and several 
society rooms in which various student societies hold then 
monthlv meetings. 

The valuable collection of framed photographs, illustratmg 
masterpieces of architecture and sculpture, and representing the 




LIUKAKV kUOM OF THK llOUSTOX CLUB, 



various schools of Renaissance painting, was selected and ar- 
ranged by Mr. Day; while the furniture, rugs, casts, etc., were 
selected by former Provost Harrison, by Mrs. Harrison and by 
the architects. 

All regular students upon matriculating become members of 
the Houston Club. The hall is the scene of many social func- 
tions, dances, i)ublic lectures, debates, receptions, dinners, etc., 
during the college season. I'^ormerly the University Sunday serv- 
ices and since Jyio, the daily Chapel services, have been held in 
the auditorium. One of the principal objects which the founders 
of the Houston Club had in view was to weld together 
into a closer bond of fellowship the great cosmopolitan body of 
students. This it was thought could be accomplished by providing 
for their general comfort and welfare during their leisure hours, 
a common meeting ground where students of all nationalities 



4Q 

and creeds and men of all departments could mingle with each 
other daily in friendly intercourse. It was an experiment and 
was the first general student club house of its kind, but so well 
has it succeeded in accomplishing its manifold purposes and in 
fostering a democratic spirit among the students, that a large 
number of American educational institutions have since estab- 
lished similar club houses. The Houston Club idea has become 
a movement which is gradually being adopted in colleges and 
universities both here and abroad, and its influence has become 
world wide. Because of the many memorials to alumni which 
dec<Drate the walls and panels of the Houston Club the building 
is frequently referred to by Provost Smith and the students as 
the "Westminster Abbey of Pennsylvania."

THE DORMITORY HOUSES.— The group of dormitor}- 
houses when completed will enclose the five courtyards known 
as^ the "Little Quad," "The Triangle," "The Big Quad," the 
"East Quad" and the "South Quad." Although thirty-two houses 
have thus far been constructed in these "Quads." there are still 
a number of dormitories and a dining hall to be erected along 
the Hamilton Walk side of the system before the "Quads" will 
be completely enclosed. 

The dormitories were designed by Cope and Stewardson, and 
are mostly in the English Collegiate style, with Elizabethan de- 
tail, and with their spacious courtyards strongly suggest the 
Oxford and Cambridge colleges ; while the carved bosses in 
the main cornices are reminiscent of the Gothic period in archi- 
tecture. The architecture of the buildings enclosing the "South 
Quad" differs somewhat from the Jacobean surroundings of the 
main portion of the dormitory buildings, having a Tudor at- 
mosphere, the limestone trimmings and overhanging eaves being 
no longer in evidence. The hard burnt brick which forms the 
princii)al material of all the dormitory houses is of the same 
uniform color as that used in other later University buildings, 
WMth which ihey are in keeping in general stjde. giving a pleasing 
architectural effect to the entire University group of buildings 
constructed within the last decade. The dormitory houses are 



on the separate staircase system, and all outer doors open into 
the courtyards. Those in the "Triangle" and the "Little Quad" 
are entered through the Memorial Tower archway; while those 
in the "Big," "South" and "East" Quads (which occupy the 
site of the old athletic field) are entered through the archway 
of the Provosts' Tower. Other beautiful archways and arcades 
give ready access to the various Quads. 

The thirty-two dormitory houses have accommodations for 
more than a thousand students. The names of the houses are 
carved on tablets over the entrance doors and the houses are 
named after distinguished alumni or benefactors. The rooms 
and halls are heated by steam and lighted by electricity. On 
every floor there are a number of lavatories with hot and cold 
shower baths. Practically all of the suites and double rooms 
and many of the single rooms have open fireplaces. The Uni- 
versity supplies for each student: bedstead, mattress, bureau, 
washstand, table, bookcase, chairs, and toilet china. In the more 
recently constructed dormitories there are stationary washstands 
with hot and cold water, double pedestal desks, dome electroliers, 
private telephone, etc. There are five kinds of rooms, viz., 
single, single suite, double, double suite, and triple suite. The 
minimum cost of a room in the dormitories is $55.00 per year. 
All students are treated alike. Those in the more expensive 
rooms have no privilege or service which is not shared by the 
poorest student. 

Among the points of interest to visitors are : 

Class of '92 Memorial Fountain, by Alexander Calder, sculptor 
(east arcade). 

Class of '94 Memorial Gate (Memorial Tower gate). 

Class of '98 Memorial Clock (over west arcade). 

Class of '00 Memorial Sun Dial (in the "Little Quad"). 

The Terrace (east of Bodine and Morris). 

Site of proposed Dining Hall (south of Morris). 

The rich carvings over doors, especially the grotesque "bosses" 
of the string course between the second and third floors.

THE COLLEGE.— This is the oldest department of the 
University, and the third oldest college in the Lhiited States 
which has had a continuous existence. It had its 
origin in the Charity School which was founded in 1740, 
although instruction was not actually begun until 1751. In 1912, 
the College was separated into three schools, viz., the College, 
the Towne Scientific School, and the Wharton School of Finance 
and Commerce. In the former are now included the courses in 
Arts and Science, Biology and Music, also the Summer School 
and Courses for Teachers. livery candidate for a college degree 



75 

in Arts and Science must take sixty-four units of class room 
or laboratory work, including Physical Education. Thirty-seven 
of these units are distributed among six groups, each group 
being composed of related subjects of instruction. Nine units 
must be taken under the direction of one department of instruc- 
tion and the remaining eighteen units are free electives. All 
students in Arts and Science receive the degree of Bachelor of 
Arts. 

In IQ17 there were 2753 students in the College and 186 mem- 
bers of the faculty. 

Most of the instruction in the Arts and Science course is 
given in College Hall, a picturesque ivy-covered building, and 
the oldest on the campus. 

COLLEGE HALL is the third home of the College, the 
first was at Fourth and Arch Streets, and the second at Ninth 
and Chestnut Streets (where the Post Office now stands). Col- 
lege Hall was designed by Professor Thomas W. Richards of 
the University Faculty, and is in a style reminiscent of Italian 
Gothic; it was erected in 1871. It is built of serpentine rock 
and has a frontage of 256 feet along the Woodland Avenue 
campus, and a depth of 136 feet. It contains class and lecture 
rooms for the Departments of English, Mathematics, History, 
Geology, Psychology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Astronomy, 
Education, and both Ancient and Modern Languages. It also 
contains many of the administrative offices, including those of 
the Vice-Provost, the Dean of the College, the Dean of the 
Graduate School, the Dean of the School of Education, the 
Bursar, the Director of Admissions, and the Director of the 
Summer School. 

On the second floor, the old College Chapel, has recently been 
refitted and is now used as a public lecture hall. On the fourth 
floor are the rooms of the Philomathean and Zelosophic Literary 
Societies, founded in 1813 and 1829 respectively. 

This building has been the home of almost every department 
of the University, except the allied medical schools. 

The "ivy tablets" on various parts of the buildings are in- 
teresting. Each graduating class of the College plants an ivy 
and erects a tablet ; most of these are planted near College Hall, 
although others will be found on Houston Hall, at the Library, 
and at the Dormitories. 

MEMORIALS IN FRONT OF COLLEGE HALL 

On the campus in front of College Hall and the Library are a 
number of memorial trees. Among them is a scion of the Penn 
Treaty Elm, which was presented by Gen. P. A. Oliver and 
planted for the Pennsylvania Forestry Association by Gov. 



76 

Daniel H. Hastings on April lo, 1896 ; around this tree the Class 
of 1899 College has erected an iron fence. 

Near by is a red oak tree planted by the members of the Class 
of 1868 College as a memorial to their class. 

To the west of the main walk, leading to Thirty-fourth Street 
and Woodland Avenue, is a scion of the Charter Oak, planted as 
a memorial by the members of the Class of 1866 Medicine. The 
tree is an offshoot of the historic Charter Oak which stood in 
Hartford. Conn., into the hollow of which the charter of the 
Colony of Connecticut was hidden more than two centuries ago 
when King James II ordered the charter revoked. 

A plaster cast statue of Franklin, by Carl Bitter, stood for 
a number of years near College Hall, having been brought from 
the Electrical Building of the Chicago Fair in 1893. The statue 
finally crumbled. Efforts were made to have it cast in bronze, 
so that it might permanently adorn the campus, but the neces- 
sary funds were not available. Photographs of this statue are 
preserved in the Office of the Recorder, and it is hoped that the 
statue may some day be cast in bronze or marble.

the Chapel were removed during the summer of iQio and stored 
in the basement of the Dormitories. Uhis was made necessary 
to make room for the Architectural Department, the Chapel

that these memorial windows will some day be restored or used 
to adorn a permanent Chapel to be built upon the campus in 
the near future.

THE LIBRARY BUILDING is located at Thirty-fourth 
and Locust Streets. It was dedicated on Febriiary 7, 1891. It 
is constructed of red bricks, sandstone and terra cotta. The 
building, which was designed by P'urness, Evans & Company, is 
of a peculiarly empirical type of architecture. It is in two sec- 
tions. The main part has a tower 95 feet high, and is amphi- 
theatrical in form, 140 by 80 feet. A glass-covered stack, which 
is firei)roof, is 32 by no feet and forms the other half of the 
main building. The height of the main reading room is 60

feet. The upper floors are used for lecture rooms and seminar 
libraries of the Graduate School. 

Another wing was added to the Library and dedicated on De- 
cember 13, 1915, as the "Duhring Memorial Stack," a large 
building which will form part of the library group erected in 
memory of the late Louis A. Duhring. former Professor of 
Dermatology and Honorary Curator of the Dermatological Col- 
lection at the Univ'jrsity. The new wing extends across the 
entire south end of the old Library stack room, with which it 
has been connected by various doorways on the different floor 
levels. The building is constructed of red terra cotta and brick 
work, the design by Furness, Evans & Company, being in har- 
mony with the old University Library building. The addition

In the Library office is a large clock presented to the University 
by David Rittenhoiisc. The following description of the clock- 
is given : 

This thirty-day clock was made by David Rittenhouse, 
Esq., L.L..D., of Philadelphia, who was a trustee of the 
University of the State of Pennsylvania 1779-1791, and 
of the University of Pennsylvania 1791-1797, as well as 
Vice-Provost and Professor in the former institution. The 
record on the minutes of tlie Board of Trustees relates that 
on August 4, 1790, Mr. Kittenhouse presented this "very 
valuable timepiece, which he had put up in the Provost's 
room." The clock was moved in 1802 to the University 
building's on Ninth Street, where it stood for years in the 
room of Professor John Fries Frazer. In 1872 it was 
transferred to the present College Hall, where it remained 
for twenty years, until finally placed in its present position. 

Among the more valuable and interesting historical relics of 
Benjamin Franklin, the founder of the University, deposited in 
the Library building, are his desk, cane, family account book, 
besides many volumes of letters to Franklin, papers of Frank- 
lin, specimens of the Franklin Press, etc. 

On the balcony, on whicli have been placed the Tower collec- 
tion of Russian books, is a large bronze tablet inscribed : 

THE CHAItLEMAGNE TOWER 
COLLECTION.

"These I gathered in my palace for general instruction." 

THE JOHN HARRISON LABORATORY OF CHEM 
ISTRY was the gift of Charles Custis Harrison, Alfred C 
Harrison, and W. W. Harrison. The laboratory was namecv 
for their grandfather, John Harrison. The building was dedi- 
cated in 1894 and designed by Cope and Stewardson. It shows 
the broad, projecting eaves and other characteristics of brick 
architecture in the Italian Renaissance style. The building has 
a frontage on Thirty-fourth Street of 170 feet and a depth on 
Spruce Street of 160 feet. It is one of the best equipped chemi- 
cal laboratories in America. It is three stories high. On the 
first floor is a large laboratory for general and analytical electro- 
chemistry, an electric furnace room, assay room, room for heat- 
ing under pressure, assay balance room, laboratory for technical 
chemistry, the offices* of the department, storage rooms, etc. 
There is also a large amphitheatre seating 300 persons. On the 
second floor are two large laboratories, qualitative and quanti- 
tative, hydrogen sulphide rooms, a dark room, a spectroscope 
room, gas analysis and reading rooms, lecture rooms, a museum 
and private research rooms. On the third floor are an organic 
laboratory, a combustion room, and several private research 
laboratories.

The office of the Provost of the University, Dr. Edgar F. 
Smith, is on the first floor, south of the entrance. 

On the first landing of the main staircase is a portrait of : 

JOHN HARRISON (by I. L. Williams, after Peale), Eminent 
scientist and Pioneer Chemical Manufacturer in America for whom 
the Laboratory was named. The portrait was presented by Provost 
Charles C. Harrison. 

Among the great chemists memorialized in a frieze of the 
large lecture hall are : Hofmann, Berzelius, Gay Lussac, Avo- 
gadro, Cannizzaro, Bunsen, Gibbs, Priestley, Wohler, Lavoisier, 
Scheele, Graham, Liebig, Dalton. 




THE RANDALL MORGAN LABORATORY OF PHYSICS. 

THE RANDAL MORGAN LABORATORY OF PHYS- 
ICS. — These buildings and an endowment of $250,000 are 
the gifts of Randal Morgan of the Class of '73, and a Trustee 
of the University. The buildings face Thirty-fourth Street be- 
low Walnut Street. They are constructed of red brick, are 
three stories high, and were designed by Cope and Stewardson, 
in the style of the brick architecture of the Italian Renaissance. 
The one is 60 by 80 feet, and the other 67 by 45, with a wing 
23 by 49 feet. The Laboratory is amply equipped with physical 
apparatus, including many valuable pieces for work of research 



102 

in heat, radiation, and in electricity and magnetism. A shop 
and tool-room, fitted with all the latest devices, is located in 
the basement, east side, while the west side is occupied by an 
air liquefier and other research apparatus. On the first floor 
are the practical laboratories ; on the second, the lecture and 
class rooms ; and on the third, nine rooms for special research. 
The cabinet for lecture and illustration is particularly well fur- 
nished. In the m.useum is a large collection of original material 
and relics bearing upon the early history of the telephone and 
other scientific instruments. 

THE ZOOLOGICAL LABORATORY is located along 
the south side of Hamilton Walk, Thirty-ninth Street entrance. 
The building was erected in 1910, and was occupied in the fall 
of 191 1. It was designed by Cope and Stewardson. The total 
cost of building and equipment was about $300,000. It is con- 
structed of hard burnt brick and Indiana limestone ; is fireproof 
throughout and is T-shaped with the longer arm of 204 feet 
extending east and west along Hamilton Walk, and a shorter 
south wing extending back from the rear and connected by an 
animal breeding house with the Vivarium. The architecture is 
of the English Collegiate style of the middle of the seventeenth 
century, and is in harmony with the Medical Building to the 
east of it. The Laborator}-^ was built so as to give a large 
amount of north light necessary for microscopic work, as well 
as a minimum of hall space. An auditorium is on the southwest 
at the junction of the two wings, with a student entrance from 
each hall. It will accommodate more than three hundred stu- 
dents. 

The building is three stories high over a basement. The 
library consists of a large room at the west end of the first 
floor. 

The laboratory rooms were designed on the modern unit sys- 
tem, the rooms being twenty feet deep, so as to provide sufficient 
light, and each room measuring twenty feet by eleven and a 
half, with one large window. The teaching laboratories com- 
prise either two of these units or three of them, with windows. 
No laboratories are larger than three units, each three-unit lab- 
oratory accommodating twenty-four students, which is the maxi- 
mum one instructor can direct at one time. 

On the first floor are four laboratories for the course in Gen- 
eral Zoology ; synoptical museum ; a laboratory for Economic 
Entomology, with rooms for insect collections and insect breed- 
ing. 

On the second floor are two laboratories for Vertebrate Anat- 
omy, next to a Vertebrate Museum, and a laboratory for 
advanced courses in the subject. There are also two laboratories 
for Histology adjacent to reagent and microtome rooms. 



103 

On the third floor is a suite of laboratories for general and 
advanced courses in Physiology, with convenient breeding rooms 
and a large space for photography and work with ultra-violet 
rays. Considerable space is devoted to culture and breeding 
purposes on each floor ; there are two special museums, one used 
as a teaching collection and the other as a storage collection. 




BIOLOGICAL HALL. 



The offices of the University Purchasing Agent are on the 
third floor of this building. 

In the basement are constant temperature and cold storage 
rooms, machine shop, ventilating plant, and a coat room for 
students. Twenty private rooms are at the disposal of special 
investigators. It is considered the best working laboratory in the 
country for its subject. The building contains many famous 
collections, among them the Pennock-Wheatly collection of slides, 
the Leidy collection of parasites, the Hyrtl-Cope osteological col- 
lection, and a zo51ogical library of more than five thousand vol- 
umes, including the Leidy-Ryder-Cope-Montgomery collection. 



104 

In four medallions on the sides and front of the building have 
been cut the following words: Unity, Truth, Wisdom, Humanity. 
On panels on the front elevation, under the copings appear the 
following names : 

COPE— LEIDY 

Lamarck Darwin Hitxlby 

Reaumur Bernard j. Mueller 

Harvey Aristotle ]\Ialpighi 

Schwann Von Baer Agassiz 

Cuvier Ray Linnaeus 

A seal of the University adorns the medallion over the main 
entrance.

BOTANICAL HALL faces Hamilton Walk, behind the 
University Dormitories. The building, which is rather plain and 
which has little merit from an architectural viewpoint, is beauti- 
fully overgrown with ivy. It was erected in 1884, and consists 
of three floors and a basement. It has a frontage of 8o> feet and 
a depth of 45 feet. It contains classrooms, herbarium room with 
more than 60,000 sheets of plants, the Botanical Library with 
about 5000 volumes and the Bartram Memorial Library of 600 
volumes. 

THE BOTANIC GARDENS were established in 1894. 
There are eleven greenhouses containing 2000 species and vari- 
eties of plants, also a physiological plant laboratory. The gardens 
cover four acres, and contain about 1600 species of plants. 

The beautiful lily and lotus ponds and the winding paths are 
among the most attractive features of the Campus. The gardens 
give splendid facilities for staging open-air plays, several of 
which are given every year. 

The gardens, greenhouses and buildings are open to visitors 
from sunrise to sunset. 

THE VIVARIUM was established in 1898 and is located 
along Hamilton Walk, and connects the Zoological Building with 
Botanical Hall. It has fresh and salt water aquaria containing 
a great variety of marine and fresh-water animals ; houses for 
animals, and experimental rooms. This was the first vivarium 
ever connected with any educational institution, 



105 

HAMILTON WALK is one of the most beautiful stretches 
on the University Campus, occupying the former site of Pine 
Street, from Thirty-fourth to Thirty-eighth Streets; along the 
north side are the Dormitories and the "Old Athletic Field" ; on 
the south the Zoological Laboratory, the Medical Laboratories, 
Botanical Hall, the Vivarium and the Botanic Gardens; at the 
Thirty-eighth Street entrance is the Class of 1873 Memorial 
Gate.

On a sago palm in one of the greenhouses of the Botanical 
Department is a brass tablet inscribed : 

I was born about one hundred and fifty years ago in 
"The Land of the Rising Sun," vv^here they named me 
SAGOBEI SHURO, but here I am known as SAGO PALM, 
while botanists call me CYCAS REVOLUTA. 

I lived in peace among my fellows till about five years 
ago, when some of the skilled gardeners of my native land 
severed my roots, removed my leafy crown and packed me 
up like a mummy ; then they sent me across the wide waters 
to an enterprising firm named Dreer, in this great "Land 
of the Setting Sun." Here I lived till a botanist from the 
shrines of learning in this city of Brotherly Love revered 
my age, genealogy & stature, and so desired to have me. 

By the generosity of Mrs. James McManes I was secured 
for my present abode, where by kind treatment I have re- 
gained my old dignity and leafy crown. Though far from 
my native home. I can survey the wonders of this great 
institution & exclaim : "I am the oldest living being in the 
University." Nay, more, when those who now serve it are 
gathered to their sires, I hope still to be green and flour- 
ishing.

THE FLOWER ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY is 

situated on the ''Flower Farm," on the West Chester Pike, one 
mile from the Sixty-ninth Street Terminal station of the Market 
Street elevated road. The main Observatory buildings were 
designed by Edgar V. Seeler, and constructed in 1895. They 
are three in number; the equatorial building of brick, the merid-

ian building of wood, and the residence of the director, which 
also contains an excellent Astronomical Library of some three 
thousand volumes. In 1915 a small additional building was 
added to contain a four-and-one-half-inch Refracting Equatorial 
Telescope, which had been presented to the University some 
twenty years earlier by Horace Howard Furness, 3d. Among 
the principal instruments are : an Equatorial Telescope of eight- 
een inches aperture, a Meridian Circle, a Transit Instrument, 
a Reflex Zenith Tube, Chronometers, Chronographs, a Gerry 
Self-Winding Clock, etc. The cost of the building and equip- 
ment was over $50,000. The fund for building and maintenance 
was provided by the late Reese Wall Flower, of Philadelphia. 

The Observatory is open to visitors on every clear Thursday 
evening throughout the year from 7 to 10 p. m., except during 
vacations and on legal holidavs. 




SCENE IN BOTANIC GARDEN. 



THE TOWNE SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL was founded by 
John Henry Towne, a Trustee of the University of Pennsylvania 
from 1873 to 1875, who in 1875 by his will bequeathed a large 
sum of money for the purpose of endowing the Department of 
Science. The Board of Trustees, in recognition of Mr. Towne's 
generosity, named the Scientific Department of the College the 
"Towne Scientific School." The scientific courses, however, had 
been given in the College since 1852, when the first professorship 
in Civil and Mining Engineering was established in a department 
of the College known as the "Department of Mines, Arts and 



109 

Manufactures." Still later it was known as the "College of Agri- 
culture. Mines, Arts and Mechanic Arts." In 1872, five separate 
courses were announced in the Department of Science, viz. : 
Chemistry, Metallurgy, Geology, Mining, Civil and Mechanical 
Engineering. After the Department of Science became the 
Towne Scientific School in 1875 the scope was broadened verv

materially. A course in Drawing and Architecture and a general 
course in Science were added. In 1891 the regular four-year 
courses in Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Chem- 
istry and Architecture were established, and in the following 
year the course in Chemical Engineering was added. These 
courses were still given in the Towne Scientific School, as a 
part of the College, until 1912, when the School was made in- 
dependent with its own faculty and dean. In 1906 the Civil, 
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Departments moved into 
the new Engineering Building, while the Architectural Depart- 
ment remained in the College Hall until 1915, when it took 
possession of the building formerly occupied by the Dental 
School. The Chemical Engineering Department is in the Har- 
rison Laboratory.

Since 1891 the growth of the School has been quite remarkable, 
the attendance having increased from 313 to 865, with a teaching 
staff of 180. 

To meet the needs of such students as may desire a general 
college education before taking up scientific work, the courses 
are so arranged as to enable students to take the first two years 
of academic work and combine the last two with the first two 
years in the Towne Scientific School, get their degrees and 
complete their courses in the latter in two additional years, thus 
completing the combined courses in six years. 

The offices of the Dean, and the Civil, Electrical and Mechani- 
cal, Engineering Departments are housed in the Engineering 
Building. Other buildings used by the Towne Scientific School 
for various courses are the Harrison Laboratory of Chemistry, 
the Randal Morgan Laboratory of Physics, the Architectural 
Building, College Hall, and the Library. 

THE ENGINEERING BUILDING is located at Thirty- 
third and Locust Streets and houses the Civil, Electrical and 
Mechanical Engineering Departments. It faces south and is 
parallel with the Architecural Building; ground was broken 
August 12, 1903, and the building dedicated October 19, 1906. 
It has a frontage of 300 feet and a depth of 160 feet, besides 
a large wing 50 feet square extending from the rear. Its cost 
is estimated at $750,000. The building was designed by Cope 
and Stewardson. While the general architectural treatment is 
in the English Georgian school and in accord with the keynote 
given by the Dormitories and later University buildings, it is in 
a quieter vein. It is fireproof throughout, while the equipment is 
of the most modern and approved type. The exterior is of dark 
brick with limestone trimmings. There are three stories, with 
a basement covering a third of the entire area. There is a total 
floor area of 128,000 square feet. It is the largest on the Campus 
and the best equipped building of its kind. The heating is by 
direct steam, the ventilation by electrically driven fans, 
and the lighting by electricity. There are two prin- 
cipal entrances leading to the main hallway, which extends east 
and west the entire length of the building to staircases at both 
extremities. Large light-wells terminate in skylights over the 
main floor. The basement contains locker-rooms, lavatories, ma- 
chinery for heating and ventilating, storage battery rooms, lab- 
oratories for geodetic and hydraulic work, and for the testing 
of the materials of construction. On the first floor, adjacent to 
the main entrance, are the offices of the heads of departments. 
Accommodation is also provided for physical and hydraulic test- 
ing, instrument testing and for special work in mechanical and 
electrical engineering. Rooms are likewise set aside for dynamos 
and electric motors, steam and gas engines, refrigerating ap- 
paratus, hydraulic motors, boiler testing, pattern making, wood 



112 

and iron working, foundry and machine shops, etc. On the 
second floor is a reference library and reading room, a students' 
assembly room, rooms for use of instructors and for lectures 
and recitations. The rear portion of this floor is devoted almost 
wholly to drawing rooms. A room for the use of the engineer- 
ing societies, a general supply store, and the library stack occupy 
the middle portion. In the east and west wings ample space is 
assigned to the engineering museums, while the rear of this 
floor is set aside exclusively for additional drawing rooms, 
which, like those just. beneath, have the full advantage of a north 
light.

LIGHT, HEAT AND POWER PLANT— The central 
plant is located at the northwest corner of Thirty-fourth and 
Spruce Streets. It consists of two buildings, which were dedi- 
cated on May 26, 1893, both constructed of dark red brick with 
brownstone trimmings. The one is 56 by 200 feet, with a 
fourteen-foot driveway on Thirty-fourth Street, under which 
are the coal bins ; and the other is 109 by 49 feet. The build- 
ings were designed by Wilson Brothers, architects. Both build- 
ings are one story high, and are connected with each other by a 
thirteen-foot shed. The building to the west was originally four 
stories high and was used by the Mechanical Engineering De- 
l)artment from 1893 to 1906, when it was partially destroyed by 
fire. 

These buildings contain ten boilers of about 3000 horse power, 
and five engines of 625 horse power. The plant supplies light 
and heat to all University buildings except the Museum, Evans 
Dental Institute, Phipps Institute, Wistar Institute, and the 
Gymnasium. It furishes light for about 40,850 incandescent 
Carbon lamps of 16 c. p., or about 91,500 Tungsten lamps of 
25 watts each ; it heats an air space of 24,000,000 cubic feet, or 
approximately that of 500 large three-story dwellings. During 
the winter months the plant consumes as much as ninety tons 
of coal a day, about 18,000 tons being used annually. 

THE ARCHITECTURAL SCHOOL is a department of 
the Towne Scientific School. Organized in 1890 with a small 
enrollment, it has grown under the direction of Dr. Warren P. 
Laird, its head for the past twenty-five years, into a school of 
260 students with a faculty of twenty-six instructors and several 
special lecturers, so that now as an architectural school it is 
second only to the Ecole des Beaux Arts, of Paris, in impor- 
tance as well as in numbers. In no department of the University 
can be found the "esprit de corps" of faculty and students more 



115 

pronounced. The influence of its graduates is being felt in all 
parts of the country, and its students and graduates in the 
past several years have won more competitive prizes, scholarships, 
and traveling teflowships, than all other American schools com- 
bined. 

All this has been accomplished notwithstanding its develop- 
ment in cramped quarters in College Hall and in the wooden 
"Studio" (the old Dining Hall) Building in the Dormitory 
quadrangle, which, with its collection of casts is still being 
used and is open to interested visitors. 

The A.rchitectural Building at Thirty-third and Locust Streets 
was occupied by the Dental School until 1915, when it was as- 
signed to the Department of Architecture. It was designed by 
Edgar V. Seeler, and is constructed of red brick and terra 
cotta; its cost was about $150,000. The main building is 50 
by 180 feet with a library wing 50 by 90 feet. The entire second 
story of the main building constitutes a magnificent draughting 
room containing nearly 20G tables and lockers. In the large, 
well-lighted library, with its valuable collection of books, peri- 
odicals and photographs, the students find much inspiration in 
their studies. On the walls are hung full-size casts of sculpture 
from the Arch of Trajan at Beneventum, water-color drawings, 
and photographs of architectural monuments. In the lower 
stories are the offices, lecture, seminar and special drawing 
rooms, a large room for the exhibition and judgment of draw- 
ings and a room for the Architecural Society. 

The present quarters of the School of Architecture must be 
regarded as only temporary in view of its need of a building 
especially designed and equipped for the peculiar needs of archi- 
tectural instruction. 

THE WHARTON SCHOOL OF FINANCE AND COM- 
MERCE was founded in 1881 by the late Joseph Wharton 
for the purpose of giving a college training to young men pre- 
paring to engage in business, banking, law, or the public service. 
Like the Towne Scientific School, it began as a part of the 
College and in 19 12 it was given recognition as a separate school 
with a dean and faculty of its own. It was originally known as 
the Wharton School of Finance and Economy, but later, the 
word "Economy" in the title was changed to "Commerce." 

Mr. Wharton, in endowing this school, returned to the utili- 
tarian views of education which Franklin advocated in his "Pro- 
posals" which led to the founding of the University. Both be- 
lieved in giving instruction to students in the subjects more 
closely related to their respective callings in life. So successfully 
have the ideas of the founder been followed, that similar schools 
have since been . established in many universities both here and 
abroad. In 1894, the four-year curriculum and a new grouping 



ii6 

system were established. Since this time the progress of the 
School has been rapid; Mr. Wharton increased his endowment 
by a half million dollars. The school in 1916 had. an enrolment 
of 2409, and a teaching staff of 70. The course of four years 
leads to the degree of B.S. in Economics. In 1904, The Evenmg 
School of Finance and Accounts was added to the Wharton 
School, and in 1913 and 1914, similar extension schools were 
opened in the cities of Scranton and Wilkes-Barre, Readmg and 
Harrisburg by the Wharton School Faculty. The courses m all 
of these schools lead to a certificate of proficiency. The work 
offered is chiefly advanced work in financial and commercial 
subjects. 

LOGAN HALL, the present home of the Wharton School 
of Finance and commerce, is located on the east side of Thirty- 
sixth Street above Spruce Street. The building was designed 
by Thomas W. Richards and was constructed for the Medical 
School in 1874 and occupied by that department and known as 
Medical Hall until 1904, when it was turned over to the Whar- 
ton School which had long since outgrown its accommodations 
in College Hall. The building has a frontage of 160 feet along 
Thirty-sixth Street and a depth of 89 feet, and is built of green 
serpentine stone. In 1905, it was named "Logan Hall" in honor 
of James Logan, one of the founders of the University. In 
Logan Hall, in the office, is a Chinese motto, presented to Mr. 
Joseph Wharton by His Excellencey, the Chinese Minister, Sir 
Chengtung Lian Cheng. Translated, the motto reads: 

"The student who consults his ease is not worthy to be called 
a student." 

WHARTON SCHOOL BUILDING (contemplated). As 
the School has long since outgrown its quarters in Logan Hall, 
it has been the hope of many for years that the future home 
of the School would soon be in a building to be erected on a 
lot on Woodland Avenue opposite the Wistar Institute, and 
running through to Locust Street. It is now used for tennis 
courts. The new building designed to be erected upon this lot 
provides for a frontage of 150 feet on Woodland Avenue, and 
about 250 feet on Locust Street, its depth being about 302 feet. 
Cope and Stewardson have prepared the plans; the architecture 
is similar in general style to that of the other recently erected 
buildings. 

THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION.— While a School of 
Education was not established at the University of Pennsylvania 
until 1914, the idea of such an organization was not entirely new. 
The present institution is the logical outcome of a long series of 
developments. One of the main reasons assigned for the founda- 
tion of the Academy that evolved into the University was the 



ii8 

necessity of training teachers for the schools of the country, 
and in the earher years the University even sent out teachers 
free of charge to the surrounding" country. Similarly, in every 
period of its history the preparation of teachers has been 
accounted an important function by the University. 

The work in Education specifically was started in 1894 by the 
appointment of Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh to the Faculty. Upon 
Dr. Brumbaugh's resignation in 1906, Dr. A. Duncan Yocum 
was appointed, and for seven years carried the increasing bur- 
den of the work in Education. Finally in 1913, the legislature 
provided for a generous increase in the Department of Educa- 
tion, and in the following year the Department was expanded 
into a School of Education with its own faculty. Other appoint- 
ments in Education and in the academic subjects have since been 
made. The requirements for admission to the new school were 
placed upon a basis similar to those of the College, and pre- 
supposed graduation from a first-class high school. A course 
of study, four years in length, and leading to the degree of 
Bachelor of Science in Education was arranged. Arrangements 
have now been made, whereby a graduate of the School of Edu- 
cation may obtain the degree of Bachelor of Science from the 
College by an additional year of study, or a graduate of the 
College may obtain the degree of Bachelor of Science from the 
School of Education within the same period. The new School 
of Education was from the beginning open to both men and 
women students. It occupies temporary quarters in College Hall. 

THE GRADUATE SCHOOL had its beginning in 1882. 
For several years previous to that date some post-graduate work 
in science had been given in the Auxiliary Department of Medi- 
cine ; also work for the degree of Master of Science was offered 
after 1875 by the Faculty of Science of the Towne Scientific 
School. On November 14, 1882, the Trustees established the 
Department of Philosophy by which title the Graduate School 
was originally known. The first faculty numbered fifteen pro- 
fessors in fourteen subjects. The first of the students were 
enrolled in 1885. It now offers advanced instruction in various 
branches of literature and science to students holding a bac- 
calaureate degree in Arts, Letter.s, Philosophy or in Pure or 
Applied Science. The faculty includes one hundred and thirty- 
four professors and lecturers, and five hundred and ninety-three 
students are enrolled. 

In 1895, Provost Harrison established a most generous system 
of fellowships and scholarships, thirty-three in number, by giving 
the sum of $500,000 to endow the George Leib Harrison Founda- 
tion. Besides these there are numerous other fellowships and 
scholarships. The courses lead to the degrees of Master of Arts 
and Doctor of Philosophy. While the adrhinistration offices are 



119 

located in College Hall, instruction is given in the Library, the 
various Laboratories, and other buildings connected with the 
College, Wharton School and the Towne Scientific School. 

THE MEDICAL SCHOOL was founded on May 3, 1/65, 
when the Board of Trustees of the Academy elected Dr. John 
Morgan, a graduate of the first college class, to the Professor- 
ship of the Theory and Practice of Physick, he having just 
returned from Edinburgh, where he had finished his medical 
education. This was the first medical professorship created 
in the American Colonies. The first class was graduated three 
years later, in 1768. The school has had an uninterrupted exist- 
ence for 150 years, and when the founder delivered his opening 
lecture, he little dreamed that his prophecy would be fulfilled 
so soon, and so much better than he dared to hope when he 
said, "Perhaps this medical institution, the first of its kind in 
America, though small in its beginning, may receive a con- 
stant increase of strength, and annually exert new vigor. It 
may collect a number of young persons, of more than ordinary 
abilities, and so improve their knowledge as to spread its repu- 
tation to distant parts. By sending these abroad duly qualified, 
or by exciting an emulation amongst men of parts and litera- 
ture, it may give birth to other useful institutions of a similar 
nature, or occasional rise, by its example, to numerous societies 
of different kinds, calculated to spread the light of knowledge 
through the whole American continent, wherever inhabited." 

The school has led the medical profession, and its courses have 
attracted students not only "through the whole American conti- 
nent," but from all parts of the world. It has had connected with 
its faculty, and numbers among its graduates, many men who 
have been recognized the world over for their scientific 
achievements and discoveries. The school has gone through 
many vicissitudes and so large have been its classes in the 
past that it frequently found itself cramped for space. This 
was so even during the early days at Fourth and Arch Streets, 
when lectures had to be given in Anatomical Hall, on the east 
side of Fifth Street, and also in the rooms of the American 
Philosophical Society, in Independence Square. When the Uni- 
versity, in 1802, moved to Ninth and Chestnut Streets, it shared 
with the College the old Presidential Mansion, and upon the 
demolition of this buildiiig, in 1829, it received a building of its 
own on "the same site,' which it occupied until 1874, when it re- 
moved to its new building in West Philadelphia, now known as 
Logan Hall. Tn 1904, the principal departments of the Medical 
School moved into its present quarters in the new Medical Labo- 
ratories. Its wonderful history and traditions cannot even be 
touched upon in these pages. The school in 1917 had 606 regis- 
tered in the four classes. The teaching staff numbers 260. The 
buildings connected with the Medical School are more numerous 



120 

than those of any otluT dcpartnunt. IWsides the main hnihhnj;. 
there are tht' \\ istar Institnte of Anatomy the Kohert Mare

new Surgical Ihiilding, Nurses' 1 lome. Mortuary, Chapel, Laun- 
dry and Isolation Ihiilding. liesides these, the Philadelphia Hos- 
pital, which adjoins the University, is used daily for clinics and 
ward instruction. 

In the spring of i()i() a merger hctween the University of Tenn- 
sylvania and the Medico-Chirurgical College was accomplished, 
and several memhers of the faculty of the latter institution were 
added to the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania. The 
Medico-Chirurgical College was granted a state charter in 1850, 
hut was not organized until iSSi. .\ Department of Dentistry 
was established in 1897, and a Department of Pharmacy in 1898. 
The latter has been consolidated with the Philadelphia College of 
Pharmacy. In 1915-1016 the college had al)t)ut .^00 regular med 
ical students. 

On July 1, 1018, the Pol\'clinic Hospital and College, a post- 
graduate institution of medicine, at lughteenth and Lombard 
Streets, was merged with the University of Pennsylvania Medical 
School. It has a bed capacity of 300. 

THE LABORATORY BUILDING OF THE MEDICAL 
SCHOOL was dedicated June 10, 1904. The building faces 
the south side of Hamilton Walk, west of Thirty-sixth Street, 
occupying the site where stood the old buildings of the Veterinary 
r)ei)artment and Hospitals. The structure is fireproof through- 
out, the exterior is of hard burnt brick and buiY Indiana lime- 
stone, and the interior is finished in white Italian marble. The 
building has a frontage of 337 feet along Hamilton Walk, and 
a depth of 192 feet; it is two stories above a high basement, 
and cost almost $700,000. It is quadrangular in shape and con- 
structed around two courtyards so as to give all the large labora- 
tories and research rooms a north light. I'he building is one 
of the largest and best equipi)cd of its kind in America. The 
architecture is in the English Collegiate style of the Middle 
Seventeenth Century, and is in harmony with that of the dormi- 
tories and other recently erected buildings designed by Cope and 
vStewardson. The main ofTices of the school arc on the second 
floor of the tower. 

There are two large amphilheatres in the rear oi the building 
with a seating capacity of 300 each, and two large demonstration 
rooms, seating 150 each. The Departments of Physiology, Medi- 
cal Research, and Pharmacology occupy the first floor and base- 



122 

ment, while the second floor is devoted to pathology and normal 
histology with accommodations for professors of other depart- 
ments, until the completion of future building operations look- 
ing towards the transfer of several of the departments to 
buildings adjacent to this one. Among the principal rooms are 
those devoted to pharmacology, bandaging, research, obstetrics, 
physiological chemistry, museums of anatomy and applied anat- 
omy in the basement. On the first floor are small rooms for 
research work, professors and assistants ; and photographic dark 
room, machine shop, and storage room. On this floor are 
three large laboratories for physiology, experimental pharma- 
cology and medical research, respectively : and rooms for as- 
sistants. The chief purpose of the second floor is for laboratory 
instruction in pathology. Most of the ^ north front of the 
building is devoted to laboratories for advanced students in ex- 
perimental pathology, office of the Professor of Anatomy, and 
the special research and assistants' rooms. The east wing ac- 
commodates the laboratory of experimental pathology, and a 
departmental library containing all the recent text-books and 
journals; the west wing is occupied by the pathological museum, 
the gross morbid anatomy demonstration room, and the rooms 
of the department of research surgery. The front of the labor- 
atory of pathological histology consists almost entirely of glass 
and is located so as to face a spacious court to the north, thus 
insuring excellent and uniform light and admirably adapting it 
for microscopic work. In a similar section of the building, 
east of the central hall, with similar front arrangements to in- 
sure light for microscopic work, are located two small labora- 
tories for the teaching of surgical pathology and neuro- 
pathology. The private rooms for the instructors of these 
branches open upon these larger laboratories. 

In the rear of the Medical Building is the animal house, built 
in igii for the purpose of housing and caring for the animals 
used in the experimental work of the Medical School. This is 
the finest and best-equipped house of the kind in this country.

ment are the gifts of General Lsaac J. Wistar, a clescendant of 
Dr. Caspar Wistar, Professor of Anatomy at the University 
from t8o8 to 181 8. The original museum was founded in 1808 
by < "aspar Wistar and used for teaching the students. There is 
now no nnd<Tgi";idii;il<- insl 1 ii<l ion, llic lal)or;ilori(.s and facllill(;s

being open only to investigators of known ability and scientific 
reputation. Well equipped laboratories and a biological library 
adjoin the museum. The chief resources of the Institute are 
directed to researches in comparative neurology, comparative 
embryology, anthropology and genetics. 

In 1905 the Institute became the clearing house for anatomy 
in America; and in 1906 it was appointed the Central Institute 
for Brain Investigation of the United States. 

The Wistar Institute publishes the five principal, independent 
anatomical journals of the United States, namely: Journal of 
Morphology, The Journal of Comparative Neurology, The 
American Journal of Anatomy, The Anatomical Record, and 
Tlie Journal of Experimental Zoology. In these journals ap- 
pears a large portion of the anatomical research work done in 
this country. The Institute also publishes a series known as 
Memoirs of the Wistar Institute, in which appear such mono- 
graphs as are too extensive to be published in the journals. An 
extensive animal colony comprising several thousand Albino rats 
is maintained to furnish material for biological studies, the 
ultimate object of which is the alleviation of human suffering. 

In the Library, in cases specially built for them, are General 
Wistar's private library of 4000 volumes and an interesting 
collection of historical relics. In the large Library room is also a 
collection of valuable furniture, including a chiflfonier much 
damaged by Pulaski's cavalry in 1778. It dates back to 1683, 
passing to Isaac J. Wistar in the sixth generation, and by him 
presented to the Wistar Institute. There are also two set- 
tees which belonged to Thomas Mifflin, 17/^4.-1800, a graduate 
of the College, and trustee 1733-1791, and first governor of Penn- 
sylvania. There are many other equally interesting objects in 
the collection. 

The Wistar Museum is open to the public as well as to 
students daily, except Sundays and holidays, from 9 a. m. to 
4 p. M., Saturdays from 9 a. m. to 12 m.

THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL, which was founded by 
the late Dr. William Pepper in 1874, now covers two city blocks 




CENTRAL BUILDING O'F THE UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL. 

bounded by Thirty-fourth, Thirty-sixth, Spruce, Hamilton Walk 
(Pine Street). It includes twenty wards, having a capacity of 
almost five hundred beds. There are also six amphitheatres for 
clinical teaching, and surgical and medical dispensaries for gen- 
eral and special diseases. In the group of buildings forming 
the University Hospital there is one central building devoted 
to general hospital work; the Gibson Wing for Chronic Diseases, 
used chiefly for the treatment of heart and lung diseases ; the 



1 36 

D. Hayes Agnew Memorial Pavilion, which contains four wards 
and three amphitheatres, and which is used principally for clini- 
cal instruction ; the William Pepper Laboratory of Clinical Medi- 
cine; the Clinical Building; the Maternity Building; and the 
Surgical Building. The three latter have recently been com- 
pleted and conform in general style to the architecture of Uni- 
versity Buildings. When the present plan for the entire 
Hospital is completed all the buildings will conform in style of 
architecture to these, and will be brought out to the street 
line. To the rear of the Agnev/ Pavilion has been added a wing 
for the X-ray Department, which forms an important part of 
the Hospital group, and which will soon be moved into the new 
Surgical Building. Spacious sun-parlors have also been added 
lo the rear of all the principal Hospital buildings. Among other 
buildings in the Hospital yard are the Isolation Building, the old 
Maternity Hospital, Obstetrical Pavilion, the Mortuary and 
Chapel, the Laundry and the Dormitories for Nurses. Not lo- 
cated upon the Campus are the Phipps Institute at Seventh and 
Lombard Streets, for the study and treatment of tuberculosis, 
and the Southeastern Dispensary at 736 South Tenth Street. 

The medical staff of the Hospital consists of more than one 
hundred and fifty physicians and a hundred and twenty-nine 
nurses. 

THE POLYCLINIC HOSPITAL and PHIPPS INSTI- 
TUTE, which are now part of the University, afford hospi- 
tal accommodation for 350 additional patients. 

THE MAIN HOSPITAL BUILDING is constructed of 
serpentine (green) stone and was dedicated June 4, 1874. It is 
171 by 185 feet and cost $552,000. Professor Thomas W. Rich- 
ards designed the building, which was the gift of the State and 
City and benevolent citizens. The money was secured princi- 
pally through the efforts of the late Provost William Pepper. 

THE D. HAYES AGNEW MEMORIAL PAVILION was 

erected in 1897; it is 151 by 85 feet; is constructed of red brick 
and cost $75,000. The architects were Cope and Stewardson. 
The building was named in honor of the great American 
surgeon who had such a long and important career at the Uni- 
versity. The building contains four wards and three amphi- 
theatres for clinical instruction. Its architectural treatment was 
inspired by the brick and terra cotta architecture of Northern 
Italy. 

THE WILLIAM PEPPER LABORATORY OF CLINI- 
CAL MEDICINE was erected in 1894; it is 45 by 45 feet; 
is constructed of red brick and cost $50,000. The architects 
were Cope and Stewardson. It was erected through the gen- 
erosity of the late Provost William Pepper as a memorial to 



137 

his father. The laboratory is entirely for graduate work, for 
the purpose of providing facilities for the prosecution of minute 
studies and original researches. The laboratory annually pub- 
lishes the results of its investigations.

THE GIBSON WING FOR CHRONIC DISEASES was 

erected in 1883 ; it is 45 by 183 feet ; is built of red brick and 
cost $85,000. The architects were Wilson Brothers. It was 
named in honor of the late Henry C. Gibson, as an acknowledg- 
ment of his numerous benefactions to the University. The 
pavilion was originally erected for the treatment of heart and 
lung diseases. It now contains the Children's Medical Ward of 
twenty beds ; the Ward for Chronic Surgical Cases of twenty 
beds, and a number of private rooms. 

THE MATERNITY BUILDINGS are located in the rear 
of the Pepper Laboratory. The old part was erected in 1901 ; 
it is 107 by 80 feet, and is built of red brick. The architects 
were Cope and Stewardson. It will accommodate 50 patients 
and contains the Anna Dike Scott Memorial Amphitheatre with a 
seating capacity of 200. In the basement is a system by which 
all heated air supplied to the nurseries and wards is purified 
and filtered. 

In 1906 a new wing, 38 by 41 feet, was added to the Maternity, 
the gift of Mrs. Benjamin F. Clyde. It was designed by Brockie 
and Hastings, and conforms to the original building, which is a 
simple form of Italian brick work of the Renaissance period. 
In the sun parlor on the second floor is a memorial window, 
inscribed: "To the Glory of God.— Dedicated October 11, 1906." 

The new Maternity Building was completed in 1916 on Thirty- 
sixth Street, below Spruce Street. It is constructed of hard 
burnt brick with limestone trimmings, and is 105 feet long by 
45 feet wide. The architecture is in the Elizabethan style, 
somewhat similar to the Dormitories, but less ornate. It was 
designed by Brockie and Hastings under the immediate super- 
vision of Dr. B. C. Hirst, Professor of Obstetrics at the Uni- 
versity. The construction incorporates the latest improvements 
in equipment, nothing having been left undone for the comfort 
and safety of patients. The diet kitchens, sterilizing apparatus, 
bathing facilities, etc., are unsurpassed. The building is four 
stories high, the three upper floors containing accommodations 
for twenty beds each and the first floor eleven. All the floors 
are connected with a sun parlor or porch extending the entire 
length of the building. On the first floor there are three sep- 
arate rooms, the delivery room, the assembly room, and the 
anjesthetizing room ; ward of puerperal patients ; doctors' and 
students' dressing rooms. 

As in the Southeastern Dispensary, where fourth-year men 
are on duty, in the new Maternity there will be several third- 
year medical students always on duty, each third-year man being 
obliged to spend at least a week in practical work. While as- 
signed to this duty the student lives in special dormitories pro- 
vided for this purpose in the adjoining hospital building. 



139 



THE SOUTHEASTERN DISPENSARY was founded by 
Dr. B. C. Hirst in 1891 for the purpose of giving medical in- 
struction to students in obstetrics. Each fourth-year student is

required to spend ten days at the Dispensary, where he gets an 
average of eight or ten cases. The building, which is located 
at 736 South Tenth Street, is well equipped. Three students and 
two trained nurses are in attendance at all times. The Dis- 



140 

pensary furnishes medical attendance to an average of twelve 
hundred families a year. A special free dispensary is also con- 
ducted in the building. 

THE MORTUARY AND CHAPEL, small buildings in 
the rear of the Main Pavilion, erected in 1890 at a cost of 
$11,000. 




THE MKDICAL CLINIC BUILDING. 



THE MEDICAL CLINIC BUILDING occupies the site 
directly in front of the Gibson Wing for Chronic Diseases. 
It was dedicated on April 15, 1909. It was the first 



141 

of the new wings to the Hospital. All the other wings 
will be brought out to the street front to correspond with this 
one, which conforms in architecture with the other late buildings 
of the University. It was designed by Cope and Stewardson. 
In this building are the laboratories of Clinical Pathology for 
the use of the hospital staff and for students in medicine. 

It accommodates the medical dispensaries, medical amphi- 
theatre and clinical conference room, and on the top floor two 
large laboratories for the teaching of clinical pathology and 
another room for the routine laboratory investigation of the 
hospital cases. The larger room is equipped with desks for 
fourth-year men, each of whom is assigned a separate desk 
and supplied with an outfit for making examinations. One 
room is devoted to instruction to third-year men in Clinical 
Laboratory methods. 

While giving suitable attention to the scientific branches, the 
claim for distinction of Pennsylvania's Medical School has al- 
ways rested upon its clinical facilities. Students are prepared 
both for the practice of medicine and for purely scientific careers, 
but the practical has taken precedence over the merely theoreti- 
cal. Besides the general clinics in all branches there are clinical 
conferences and ward classes, the former being clinics on a 
small scale with active participation of the students, the latter 
being bedside classes in which an instructor demonstrates cases 
to small groups of from five to ten students. The fourth- 
year men are assigned to duty in the University Hospital wards, 
assisting the Resident Physicians in the daily study of the cases, 
under the direct supervision of the visiting chiefs and their as- 
sistants, whom the students accompany in the daily rounds. 

THE SURGICAL BUILDING is located at the southwest 
corner of Thirty-fourth and Spruce Streets, on the former site 
of the main building of the Nurses' Home which was removed 
to Hamilton Walk. The building was started in 1914, but has re- 
mained unfinished up to the present time. The other modern 
building or wing, which conforms to the new plans, is the Clini- 
cal building. The completed plans of the hospital group pro- 
vide for the walls of all the buildings and wings being brought 
out to the Spruce Street building line. 

The Surgical Building was designed by Brockie and Hastings. 
It has seven floors and a pipe attic and roof garden. The frontage 
on Spruce Street is 92^ feet and 94^ feet along Thirty-fourth 
Street. Later it is proposed to add four, and possibly five, 
stories to this building. It is in the Jacobean style, and con- 
structed of brick and limestone, to conform to the general type 
of the later buildings erected on the University campus. 



T42 

In the basement of the new building will be the workshops 
for the Orthopedic Department, elevator machmery and mechan- 
ical equipment for ventilating, heating and lighting. On the 




THE SURGICAL BUJLDKX". 



ground floor is the X-ray Department. This floor will also 
contain a gymnasium for the Orthopedic Department, which will 



143 

be in direct communication with the orthopedic dispensary, 
wards, etc., in the present adjoining Agnew PaviHon. The first! 
second, and third floors will be devoted to .surgical wards, and 
will have a capacity of seventy-five beds, including sun parlor, 
isolation rooms, lockers, surgical dressing rooms, preparation 
rooms for operations, ward utility rooms, diet kitchens and 
supply rooms. 

On the fourth and fifth floors will be three operating clinic 
rooms, each seating from twenty-five to thirty-five students, and 
having etherizing rooms communicating with each. These clinic 
rooms extend through the two stories, are on the north side 
of the building with large north skylights. 




ISOLATION BUILDING OF THE HOSPITAL 



Besides the clinic rooms on the fourth floor are the sterilizing 
room, instrument and bandage rooms, splint room, nurses' work 
room, doctors' dressing and toilet rooms, recovery and waiting 
rooms and nurses' toilet, with large distributing corridors. 

On the fifth floor the space not occupied by the upper part of 
the clinic rooms and distribution corridor will contain a labor- 
atory for sectional cutting with separate and direct communica- 
tion to the clinic floor below, and in the south part of the floor 
six recovery and isolation rooms and diet kitchens. Over the 



144 

fifth floor is a pipe loft, wliicb will contain ventilating ducts, 
heating pipes, mechanical ecpiipnicnt, etc. 

A considemble portion of the roof will he uncovered and 
used as a roof garden.

here as they would be able to secure in any of the great Spas 
of Europe. Special efforts have been made to secure good 
light, ventilation, heat and drainage for every part of the baths, 
so as to make it attractive and cheerful as well as efficient. 

The laboratory is divided into three sections — one for hydro- 
therapy, another for thermo- and electrotherapy, and a third for 
balneotherapy — all being fully provided with dressing and re- 
clining rooms.

THE HENRY PHIPPS INSTITUTE FOR THE 
STUDY, PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF TU- 
BERCULOSIS was founded in 1903, turned over to the Uni- 
versity in 1910, and its new building formally dedicated in May, 
1913, Mr. Henry Phipps, the founder, having first decided to 
erect the present building at the northeast corner of Seventh 
and Lombard Streets. The site is in the midst of one of the 
congested districts of Philadelphia and is surrounded by a large 
tenement house population. This location was chosen as being 
in a section of the city in which tuberculosis was most prevalent, 
and was made possible by a special law permitting the establish- 
ment of the Hospital within the city limits. The original site 
was at Third and Lombard Streets. The building faces Starr 
Garden Park, a civic center of the Play Grounds Commission. 
The open square affords a greater abundance of sunlight and 
air than would ordinarily be the case in a closely built up city. 
The building was designed by Grosvenor Atterbury, of New 
York. 

The general style of architecture is modified Colonial. While 
the entrance is on the west side the principal fagade is towards 
the south. It is built of brick trimmed with white marble, and 
except for wooden doors is of fire-proof construction. The 
ground plan is somewhat of the form of the letter H — two main 
wings projecting towards the south and enclosing an areaway 
that is planted with shrubbery. The appearance of the building 
from the south is unusual, because of the adoption of the plan 
of having each story above the second set back from the front of 
the building sufficiently to afford adequate porch and deck 
room. By this means light is not cut oft' by porches from the 
story below. This arrangement also makes possible the appear- 
ance of a series of hanging gardens, while window-boxes and 
plants are placed along the parapets. 

The east wing is devoted almost entirely to laboratory pur- 
poses and includes on the basement floor an autopsy room and 
morgue. As for the rest of the building — the basement is occu- 
pied by engine and boiler rooms, store rooms and laundry; the 
first floor by general offices, waiting rooms, examining rooms 



158 

for dispensary patients, drug room, etc. ; the second floor by 
nurses' quarters, kitchen, pantry, store and dining rooms ; the 
third floor by wards, providing twelve beds for advanced cases, 
and surrounded by large covered roof porches and open decks, 
nurses' oflice, diet kitchen, dressing room and quiet room. In the 
west wing of the third floor there are sleeping quarters for 
nurses; the fourth floor is devoted to two large open-air wards, 
together containing twelve beds for early cases with ample porch 
and deck space adjacent. On the fourth floor are also diet 
kitchen, dining room, nurses' office, examining rooms, etc. ; on 
the fifth or top floor there is a large solarium and adjacent to 
it, open decks. There are also a diet kitchen, dining room, and 
nurses' office. The Institute has demonstrated that patients can 
be cured in the city if they receive proper food and treatment. 
Both of the wards and the large dispensary service of the Insti- 
tute are devoted entirely to cases of tuberculosis. The Insti- 
tute includes three fields of activity, represented by three cor- 
responding departments, viz., laboratory, clinical and the socio- 
logical, each being under a separate director. 



THE SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY was organized in 
](S7(S, at that time being the third University Dental School in 
America. In the fall of 1909 the Pennsylvania College of 
Dental Surgery was absorbed by the University, and an arrange- 
ment made whereby all of its students were transferred to the 
University of Pennsylvania. The history of the Pennsylvania 
College of Dental Surgery begins with the establishment in 1852 
of the IMiiladelphia College of Dental Surgery, from which the 
Pennsylvania College separated in the spring of 1856, securing 
from the State Legislature a separate charter. 

The Dental School is the most cosmopolitan of the depart- 
ments of the University, its students usually representing about 
twenty-five foreign countries and almost every state of the 
Union. In 1916 it had a teaching staff of sixty-seven and an 
enrollment of 722 students. The school operates a free dis- 
pensary, in which about 50,000 cases are treated annually. 

When the school was first organized, it occupied quarters in 
the old Medical Hall (now Logan Ilall) then in the Hare Labor- 
atory of Chemistry at Thirty sixth and Spruce Streets, but in 
1896 it removed to a new building especially constructed for it. 
Here its growth was remarkable and it had soon outgrown its 
"new" quarters. On February 21, 1915, it entered into its fourth 
home. The Evans Dental Institute and School of Dentistry of 
the University of Pennsylvana at Fortieth and Spruce Streets, 
the largest and best equipped plant in the world devoted entirely 
to the teaching of dentistry.

THE THOMAS W. EVANS MUSEUM AND DENTAL 
INSTITUTE SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY, UNIVER- 
SITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.— By concurrent action of 
the Trustees of the Thomas W. Evans Museum and Institute 
Society and the University of Pennsylvania, an agreement be- 
tween them was executed on Saturday, June 15, 1912, by the 
provisions of which a co-operative affiliation between the two 
institutions was consummated so that the resources of both 
have been utilized in the creation of a Dental School to be car- 
ried on "as such institutions of learning are now conducted in 
Philadelphia, and not inferior to any already established," as 
provided for in the will of the late Dr. Thomas W. Evans, an 
eminent scientist and dentist who practiced in Europe, but who 
was born in Philadelphia, and lived in a house which stood 
where the building bearing his name now stands, and which 
houses the affiliated institutions at the northwest corner of 
Fortieth and Spruce Streets. 

THE EVANS INSTITUTE is in the Tudor style of archi- 
tecture which prevailed in the time of Henry VIII and might be 
described as Collegiate Gothic, being in keeping with other late 
buildings, constructed of Indiana limestone and hardburnt brick. 
It was designed by John T. Windrim. Ground was broken on 
September 24, 1912, and the corner-stone laid on May 3, 1913. 
The building has a frontage on Spruce Street of 242 feet, and a 
depth to Irving Street along Fortieth Street of 161 feet. It is 
built in the form of the letter H and has three stories over a 
high basement. The benefaction of Dr. Evans includes this build- 
ing with its equipment which cost approximately $1,000,000, and 
a substantial endowment fund. 

Among the interesting features of the buildings are the square 
tower and the Evans Museum. The tower, which is at the 
main entrance at the center of the Spruce Street wing, is thirty- 
eight feet square, rising to eighty-four feet. In the center of 



t62 

the tower, beginning at the second story and reaching ahnost to 
the top of the third floor, is a large window, which Hghts the 
hbrary on the second floor. 

The Evans Museum occupies the east half of the Spruce Street 
wing, is as nearly fire and burglar proof as modern science 
can make it. This houses the priceless Evans collection. 

In the west end of the Spruce Street wing are the offices of the 
Dean of the Institution, and the Board-room. The rest of the 
ground floor is divided into class-rooms and laboratories, the 
entire north wing being devoted to this purpose. To the right 
and left of the monumental hallway, which extends from the 
roof to the first floor, are rooms for various phases of clinical 
dental service, radiography, photography, instructors' rooms, etc., 
and a model dental oflice. 

Another of the imposing features of the building is the large 
operative clinic hall in the north wing on the second floor. This 
occupies the entire wing on Irving Street and is two hundred 
feet long by forty-eight feet wide. 

This clinic room is thirty feet high, with a glass wall on the 
north, side; the roof for a distance of about ten feet is also glass, 
giving all the daylight possible. The floor is covered with bat- 
tleship linoleum. A galler}'- on the south side contains the 
lockers. The room is furnished with 134 chairs, each chair 
equipped with electric service for power and light. There is also 
gas, compressed air and water service to each chair. 

In the south wing, on the second floor, is the library, which 
extends up through the third floor, with galleries on each side. 
From the library, on the east end, extends the main lecture 
hall, eighty-seven by forty-three feet, and on the west end are 
two smaller lecture rooms. One of the principal objects of the 
Institute will be the encouragement of research work, and a 
number of rooms for that purpose are on the second floor. 

The main stairway ends at the second floor, in a large hall 
open to the roof. The side walls of this hallway are in pinkish 
gray stone, and the ceiling is of metal and plaster, formed and 
painted to represent the carved wooden ceilings of the Tudor 
period. 

Large laboratories, with lighting similar to that in the clinic, 
occupy the south wing on the third floor, and other rooms for 
research work and post-graduate instruction in the western end. 

In the basement are locker rooms for the students, labora- 
tories for mechanical dentistry, the metallurgical laboratories, 
and laboratories and lecture rooms for first-year men, and a 
restaurant for students and faculty. The power house adjoins 
the building on the north. This contains two boilers with a 
capacity of 400 horse power. The engines and electric gen- 
erators are capable of producing 240 kilowatts and will furnish 
power for the lighting and heating, as well as for the service of 
the laboratories and the chairs in the clinic.

University. 

THE VETERINARY SCHOOL.— Although the Veterin- 
ary School of the University did not take definite shape until 
the fall of 1882, its establishment had been suggested during the 
early years of the University. In a lecture delivered in 1807 
by Dr. Benjamin Rush, he dwelt upon "the duty and advantages 
of studying the diseases of domestic animals and the remedies 
proper to remove them." In this lecture he spoke of having 
seen the Medical Department of the University grow into a 
flourishing school, but expressed himself as being dissatisfied 
with its prosperity and fame until "such time as the University 
of Pennsylvania would include in its curriculum the science of 
Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, proposing the establishment 
of a chair of Veterinary Medicine in the Medical School. 

In 1883, through the generosity of Joshua B. Lippincott and 
J. E, Gillingham, the teaching of Veterinary Medicme was made 
possible at the University as a separate school organized with a 
faculty selected largely from the Medical School and the College, 
with Dr. Rush Shippen Huidekoper as Professor of Veterinary 
Anatomy and Internal Pathology and Dean of the Veterinary 
Faculty, he having just returned from abroad for the purpose 
of undertaking the work of founding such a school. The course 
as outlined by Dr. Huidekoper, who had studied at various 
European Veterinary Schools, extended then over a period of 
three years, but in the fall of 1916 it was extended to four 
years. The Department was opened on October 2, 1884, with 
twenty students, in a series of well-equipped buildings located 
along Hamilton Walk, where the Medical Building now stands. 
In 1901 the School and Hospital moved into temporary quarters 
on the present site. In 1903 the plot of ground on Thirty-ninth 
Street between Woodland Avenue and DeLancey Street was 
purchased, and a section of the new building started for the 
School in 1906. New sections were added from year to year 
until the entire courtyard was enclosed in 1912. The School in 
1916 had a teaching staff of twenty-four and an enrollment of 
one hundred and forty-seven students.

THE VETERINARY BUILDING AND HOSPITAL oc- 
cupies a lot at Thirty-ninth Street, DeLancey Street and Wood- 
land Avenue, 260 by 210 feet. The buildings are constructed 
around a square courtyard, and with their equipment form one 
of the most complete plants of the kind. The buildings were 
designed by Cope and Stewardson in a style of architecture 
adopted from the English Collegiate of the seventeenth century, 
in keeping with that of the Dormitories and other recently 
constructed buildings. They are fireproof, and are constructed 
of hard-burnt brick with limestone trimmings, and the roof of 
green slate. The main entrance is through an archway on 
Thirty-ninth Street. 

In the series of buildings the School and Hospital Depart- 
ments are entirely separated. In the building along Thirty-ninth 
Street, to the north on the first floor, are the administration 
offices of the School and Faculty, and the library. The second 
floor of this part of the building is occupied by the State Live 
Stock Sanitary Board as a laboratory, consisting of a suite of 
twelve rooms for researches and experiments which are con- 
ducted under the supervision of the State Veterinarian. In con- 
nection with the laboratory there is also maintained an 
experimental farm near Philadelphia. The third floor of this 
part of the building contains a class laboratory, storerooms, and 
dormitories for the resident veterinarian of the Hospital and 
assistants. The south end of the Thirty-ninth Street building 
extends a short distance eastward on Woodland Avenue and 
contains the offices of the Hospital and of the resident veterin- 
arian, a reception room for the public, a clinic room for small 
animals and a similar room for large animals, a pharmacy, sev- 
eral large stalls for horses or cattle, a ward for small animals 
affected with contagious diseases, irrigation stalls, a room for 
an X-ray apparatus, and an operating room and surgery for 
large animals. On the second floor of this portion are hospital 
wards and an operating room for small animals, together with a 
kitchen for preparing the food, a bathroom and an exercise 
ward, and also sleeping quarters for attendants, and a storeroom. 

The building along Woodland Avenue contains hospital wards 
for the accommodation of fifty-five horses and cows, a public 
farriery, and a clinical laboratory. On the second floor is an 
assembly room or "Leonard Pearson Plall," named In honor of 
the late Dean. 

The building to the east contains the anatomical, histological, 
postmortem, and biological laboratories, the dissecting and lecture 
rooms. 

The building to the north of the courtyard contains, on the 
first floor, the pharmacy and milk hygiene laboratory, sterilizing 
room, class rooms and students' room, and on the second floor 
the inoculation room used by the State, the laboratories of 
pathology, bacteriology, and clinic room.

let: 

To the memory of Leonard Pearson, B.S., V.M.D., M.D., 
eminent as a Veterinarian, Scholar, and Lover of Man- 
kind, through whose breadth of vision and untiring efforts 
these buildings were made possible ; whose appreciation of 
the needs of Animal Husbandry kept him in sympathetic 
touch with the farmer, and whose achievements will always 
be an honor to his Alma Mater, this tablet is affection- 
ately dedicated by the 

Guernsey Breeders' Association. 

THE LAV/' SCHOOL had its beginning in 1790 in the 
old Academy Building, when James Wilson was elected Pro- 
fessor of Law, which was the first University professorship in 
law instituted in North America. The School had a rather 
desultory existence up to the year 1850, when it was reorganized 
by the Hon. George Sharswood, since which year it has had 
more than five thousand matriculates, of whom more than one- 
half were graduated. In 1917 it had an enrollment of 207 and a 
teaching staff of 27. At various stages of its existence it has 
occupied quarters in the first buildings at Fourth and Arch Streets, 
at Ninth and Market Streets, in College Hall on the present 
campus, then the sixth floor of the Girard Building at Broad and 
Chestnut Streets, and in 1895 the historic quarters in Indepen- 
dence Square, where for a period of five years it occupied the old 
"New Court House" and "Congress Hall" — here almost a thou- 



i6g 

sand students had the privilege of studying law in the same halls 
in which Washington and Adams were inaugurated President, 
where the United States Congress met for ten years, and where 
some of the most important laws of the early government of the 
country, were enacted. In igoo the School moved into its new 
building in West Philadelphia. In 1914 the Department became 
a purely graduate school, all candidates for degrees being obliged 
to present for entrance a college degree, thus raising the stand- 
ards of the School to the highest in America. 

THE LAW SCHOOL BUILDING was formally dedicated 
on "University Day," February 22, 1900. It is one of the most 
beautiful buildings of the University group, and is an archi- 
tectural monument. It was designed by Cope and Stewardson in 
a style similar in character to the English Renaissance as de- 
veloped by Sir Christopher Wren. The building has a frontage 
of 190 feet on Thirty-fourth Street and a depth of 120 feet along 
Chestnut and Sansom Streets. The construction is fireproof 
throughout, the exterior being of Indiana limestone and dull red 
brick; its cost was nearly half a million dollars. Interesting 
features of the interior are the spacious hallways, the rotunda, 
and the grand staircase. 

On the second floor are two large halls or reading rooms, each 
40 by 114 feet, and 30 feet high, each hall containing 254 in- 
dividual desks. The hall to the north is known as McKean Hall, 
and was named in honor of Chief Justice Thomas McKean, one of 
the signers of the Declaration of Independence and a trustee of 
the University. The south hall was named for Chief Justice 
George Sharswood, who reorganized the Law School in 1850, 
and who was a professor and trustee of the University for many 
years. Another large reading room on this floor is McMurtrie 
Hall, named for the late Richard C. McMurtrie, an eminent 
member of the Philadelphia Bar. Each student has a desk as- 
signed to him in one of the large rooms and is thus enabled 
to enjoy an undisturbed place of study during his three years 
at the law school. The graduate reading room contains twenty- 
six large tables which are assigned to advanced students and 
men engaged in legal research. In front of McMurtrie Hall 
is the "Biddle Law Library" room, a fireproof stack containing 
58,000 volumes of law books. This Library was founded by 
the family of George W. Biddle, as a memorial to his three sons, 
George, Algernon Sydney, and Arthur Biddle. The original gift 
of five thousand volumes was supplemented in 1897 by the pre- 
sentation by Mrs. Arthur Biddle of more than four thousand 
volumes. The family of the late Richard C. McMurtrie pre- 
sented his law library to the University in 1906, Many other 
valuable gifts have been received from families and individual 
donors. On the second floor are also ten small rooms used by 



170 

the Librarian and members of the teaching staff. On the first 
floor are the offices of the Dean, six class rooms, a moot court- 
room, Wharton Hall, Price Hall (a general assembly room), and 
the Museum of the Pennsylvania Bar Association. In the latter 
are deposited many objects of historical interest to members of 
the legal profession, especially to the Pennsylvania Bar. In the 
basement are the club rooms of the various student organiza- 
tions of the Law School and in the sub-cellar is a modern light- 
ing, heating, and ventilating plant. 

A lot immediately in the rear of the Law School Building is 
owned by the University and was purchased for the extension of 
the Law School Building. The University Tennis Association 
occupies it at present with six tennis courts. 

On the circular medallions of stone in the first story are cut 
the names chosen by the late Hon. John I. Clark Hare for special 
honor.

THE UNIVERSITY MUSEUM was founded in i88o, as 
the Department of Areh.eology, hy the late Williani Pepper, and 
for ten years occupietl (piarters in the TJhrary iiuilding. It now 
oeeujjies the most l)eautifnl huildiiiK on the eampus. The j^round 
lor this huildinft- and gardens, almost twelve aeres, was donated 
by the eity. Ihe Museum is loeated on Spruce Street east of 



178 

Thirty-fourth Street. The Philadelphia Commercial Museums 
the largest of their kind in America, arc located in the rear. 

The University Museum is under the care of a Board of 
Managers of whom four are Trustees of the University. It 
contains the collections belonging to the Museum in the fields 
of arch;cology, ethnology and art. It maintains these collections 
for the benefit of the University and of the public and extends its 
educational work by means of public lectures, publications and 
by its permanent exhibitions as well as special exhibitions that 
are arranged from time to time. All of these are free to the 
public. 

The Museum is visited by more than 100,000 people each year 
and as many as 1200 people have been accommodated in the 
Auditorium at the lectures given by the best authorities on 
the subjects of exploration, archcTology and art. 

The plan of the building in its complete form will cover a 
tract of twelve acres extending from Thirty- fourth Street to 
the Schuylkill River on the south side of Spruce Street. This 
plan was laid out in 1897 for gradual development by sections. 
One of these sections was finished and dedicated on December 
20, iSgg. 

MUSEUM BUILDING.— The second section, which con- 
sists of the first of the two secondary domes, was started in 
191 2 and finished in 1915. The cost of these two sections was 
almost a million dollars. The joint architects, in charge of the 
plans for the completion of the Museum, are Messrs. Wilson 
Eyre, Jr., Cope and Stewardson, and Frank Miles Day and 
brother. The plans provide for an extensive group of buildings 
to be constructed by sections. The whole will cover almost 
twelve acres of ground and is estimated to cost at least $3,000,000. 
The first section to be built was the northwestern wing which 
will be about one-seventh of the completed building which is to 
consist of a series of wings separated by open courtyards planted 
with shrubbery and provided with fountains and ponds. The 
central feature of the building represents a large hall, the roof 
or dome of which will rise to a greater elevation than that of 
the wings. From this dome broad galleries are to extend east- 
ward and westward to two secondary domes, with each of which 
are connected two groups of buildings, one facing north and 
the other facing south. The portions at present erected are 
part of the western group and the western secondary dome and 
consist of a series of buildings facing three sides of a court- 
yard in which there is a pool containing aquatic plants. 

The treatment of this building and its courtyard is considered 
one of the most charming and successful works of architecture 
in this country. It is inspired by the round arched brick architec- 
ture of Northern Italy of about the twelfth century. In some re- 
s])ects the architectural details, especially of the dome, resemble 



179 

those of the old church of San Stefano in Bologna. The ma- 
terial IS rough brick, laid with wide mortar joints, the only ex- 
terior ornamentation being rough mosaic fragments of brick and 
marble. The roof, of Spanish tiles, adds greatly to the beauty 
of the structure. 

The principal features of the latest addition arc, first: 

THE CHARLES CUSTIS HARRISON HALL, consist- 
ing of a rotunda 90 feet 111 diameter and 90 feet in height now 
containing the exhibition of Oriental art; and second: the 'audi- 
torium directly beneath this hall, 32 feet high and containing 
seating accommodations for 900 people. A special feature of 
the tower is the dome surrounding the rotunda. Into the con- 
struction of the circular walls were introduced eight pilasters 
supporting eight arches to carry the weight of the dome As 
the diameter of the hall to be covered by the dome is 90 feet, 
the Guastavino method of construction was used. The units of 
this construction are tiles about an inch in thickness, laid flat 
in concentric circles and in overlapping layers from the spring 
of the dome to its apex. The roof rests directly upon this tile 
construction. There is no steel and no supporting truss in 
any part of the dome or the roof. The light is admitted through 
a lantern in the eye of the dome and through a series of windows 
under the arches that support the dome. These windows are 
of glass that is hammered and ground. The ceiling of the 
auditorium, the diameter of which corresponds to that of the 
hall above, is constructed in exactly the same way as the dome 
above the great hall. 

By means of the most modern devices the air in the auditorium 
IS kept fresh and pure and at an even temperature when filled 
with people. 

The acoustics are perfect and a whisper can be heard in almost 
any part of the room. The room is circular, and the walls are 
constructed with different kinds of tiles, and there is not a corner 
or obstruction anywhere to smother sounds, the tiles in the wall 
having been made of two different compositions to prevent 
echoes. The first six feet of the wall is made of a dense tile, 
which absorbs the sound, and the remainder of the wall and 
ceiling is made of porous tile. 

The hall directly in front of the Harrison Hall is known as 
l^epper Hall, named in honor of the founder of the Museum 
Ihe Museum library and a small lecture hall occupy correspond- 
ing positions in the eastern and western arms of the building 
the latter is |cnown as Widener Lecture Hall, and was named 
by the donor for Josephine Widener. In the basement arr 
rooms for the photographers, storage, packing, and restauran' 
rooms. 

The collections that are to be seen in the University Museun 
include those of the Egyptian section, many of which have been 



i8o 

obtained by expeditions sent out by the Museum to conduct ex- 
cavations in the Nile Valley, and especially by the Eckley B. 
Coxe, Jr., Expedition, which is at present engaged ni conducting 
excavations at the sites of Memphis and Dendereh. 

In the Babylonian section are to be seen the collections ot 
tablets obtained by excavations at Nippur by the Babylonian Ex- 
pedition some years ago. 

The Mediterranean section includes collections of Roman glass, 
Greek and Roman marble sculptures, mosaics trom Carthage and 
reproductions of Mycensean and Cretan antiquities. There is 
also a very interesting collection of pottery, stone and seals 
obtained by the expeditions of the Museum which worked for 
several seasons in Crete, and similar collections from Etruscan 
tombs and from Cyprus. , ,. .• r 

In the section of Oriental Art are to be found collections ot 
Chinese paintings and sculptures, dating from the earliest penods 
also Chinese porcelains, potteries and bronze vessels, jades and 
cloisonnes. There are also fine collections of early Persian pot- 
teries and the Alexander Scott Collection from Tibet. 

The ancient civilizations of the new world are represented by 
exhibitions of potteries, woven fabrics, metal work and_ other 
antiquities of ancient Peru and illustrating the civilization ot 
the Incas and also the earlier civilization of pre-Inca tinies ; by 
collections of pottery and sculpture from Mexico and Central 
America; by the painted potteries and woven fabrics from the 
ruined Pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico, and from the Clitt 
Dwellers of the adjacent southwestern country; by the stone 
implements, pipes and ornaments dug up from the ancient bury- 
ing places and village sites of the eastern, southern and niiddle 
states of the United States, and the recently acquired and ex- 
tensive collection of ethnological subjects, curios and primitive 
weapons and utensils, the result of three years of exploration m 

the Amazon country. . , , • . , ^u 

The more primitive peoples now inhabiting the earth are rep- 
resented by collections of clothing, weapons, implements, utensils 
and ornaments from the native peoples of Borneo, the Philip- 
pines, Central Africa, Australia, the Islands of the South Seas, 
the Naga Hill tribes of Assam, the Ainus of Japan and the 
Indians of North and South America. • ., at 

Among the notable exhibitions now to be seen in the Museum 
are the Egyptian Cretan, Etruscan, and Babylonian antiquities, 
including the famous collection of inscribed tablets from Nippur. 
Other ethnological collections illustrating the habits of primi- 
tive peoples are the collections obtained from the tribes of 
Borneo by William H. Furness, Alfred C Harrison, H. M. 
Hiller and Charles Hose. Besides these there are numerous 
other ethnological collections and special collections in this sec- 
tion of the Museum, including the Frishmuth Collection of musi- 



i8i 

cal instruments, the Lucy Wharton Drexel Collection of fans 
and the Robert C. H. Brock Collection of coins. 

The Museum also maintains a library for the special use of 
curators and for the benefit of its members. In this library are 
to be found the standard works and all works of permanent 
value relating to archaeology and ethnology and to the subjects 
represented by the collections in the exhibition rooms.

THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION 

was made a part of the curriculum of the University in 1904, 
with its headquarters in the Gymnasium. Its regulations apply 
to all male students of the University except those of the Gradu- 
ate School, Evening School of Accounts and Finance, Summer 
School, and those taking post-graduate work. 

Every student subject to the regulations of the Department 
when he registers for the first time receives an appointment card 
for physical and medical examination. After filling in a blank 
referring to his past health and habits he reports at the physical 
director's office. When the tapeline has recorded his length, 
breadth and thickness, and after he has pushed, pulled, grasped, 
and lifted his best, he is placed standing upright with feet to- 
gether and his posture and figure are examined. By an arrange- 
ment of mirrors he can see his own back for the first time 
without moving. The fiat chest, uneven shoulders, lateral curva- 
ture, are at once evident to him. The broken down arch that 
has given pain to the feet is easily demonstrated. He is then 
put under treatment which runs in concord with his college 
course. After this inspection he lies down on a couch for 
further examination of the heart and lungs, and a test of the 
hearing of each ear. On leaving the room he gets a card which 
he takes to the swimming instructor. If he cannot swim, the 
length of the hundred-foot pool he is put under instruction, for 
every man must learn during his first year to take care of him- 
self in the water. In the last ten years more than three thousand 
men have been taught to swim. 

Men having physical defects are given cards on which are 
printed lists of exercises suitable for each case. These are taken 
to the instructor on the gymnasium floor, who demonstrates the 
movements and repeats them until the student has mastered 
them. The treatment of graver disabilities is a different matter. 
A man who shows an involvement of the lungs has his whole 
future at stake, and his relation to the college community must 
also be considered. If the trouble is slight he is put under 
observation and treated by a specially appointed college physician 
if he is in residence and away from home. If he lives at home 
his family is informed that he must be put under treatment 
at once. By this kind of care he usually gains rapidly in weight 
and often throws off the infection with little or no interference 
to his college work. Gains of from ten to fifteen pounds and 
disappearance of symptoms after a few weeks open-air sleeping 
and prescribed feeding are frequently reported. About forty in 
one thousand men show some serious disturbance in the circula- 
tion, from irregularity of pulse to structural damage of the 
heart. These men are protected from physical overstrain. They 
are taught to nurse their physical resources and to take only 
such exercise as will build up their resistance. Every candidate

"South" and "East" Quads of the dormitory system — was used 
for all athletic contests from 1885 to 1895. 

FRANKLIN FIELD was dedicated April 20, 1895. The 
improvements consisting of the stadium and grandstands and 
the gymnasium building cost, exclusive of grounds, $500,000. 
These improvements were made during 1903-04. The archi- 
tects were Frank Miles Day & Brother. The Field is 714 feet 
long and 443 feet wide. The stands were built similar to a 
house, the slant representing the roof. Massive walls with 
solid buttresses form the backs, the low walls, the cophigs ; while 
the roof, covered with felt, cement, and slag, supports the seats 
and foot boards. These stands cover the north, south, and east 
sides of the field, while the gymnasium encloses the west side. 




GYMNASTIC DRILL IX WEIGHTMAN HALL. 

Underneath the stands are excellent indoor tracks and winter 
training quarters for athletes. The seating capacity of the 
field including temporary stands is about 30,000. At each end 
of the gymnasium there is a memorial gateway dedicated to 
famous athletes ; these form the main entrances to Franklin 
Field. The Field contains a quarter-mile track, football field 
and a baseball diamond. The Field for many years was the 
scene of the Annual Football Games between the U. S. Military 
and Naval Academies. 

THE GYMNASIUM BUILDING is on the west end of 
Franklin Field facing Thirty-third Street. It was erected in 
1903 at a cost of about $400,000 by the Athletic Association. The 
building is 275 by 80 feet, being made up of a central portion 
and two square towers and wing buildings at the end. The 
architecture is English Collegiate Gothic, and the material of 



i87 

dark red brick with black headers laid in Flemish bond, trimmed 
with terra cotta and in some parts with Indiana limestone of 
the same color. The construction is entirely fireproof, the floors 
and columns being of concrete. The Architects were Frank 
Miles Day & Brother. One-half of the ground floor of the 
main building is taken up with a swimming pool which is lOO 
feet long and 30 feet wide, 9 feet deep at one end, 4 feet 6 
inches at the other. There is a gallery for spectators. The 
other portion of the lower floor is divided into rooms for 
fencing, sparring, rowing, boxing, etc. The rowing room, 75 
by 30 feet, is used as an accessory gymnasium, with sixteen

machines on which the crew do their winter training ; and in it

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA BOAT HOUSE.— 

Located in I'^airmount Park on the Schuylkill River. The Col- 
lege Boat Club of the University of Pennsylvania was founded 
in 1872, and the present boat house built a few years later. The 
first University crew was organized in 1877. A plan has been 
under way for many years to raise a fund of at least $40,000 
for the construction of a new and more modern boat house 
upon the west bank of the Schuylkill. The present Club house 
has long been inadequate for the number of students who wish 
to make use of it. 

The Schuylkill River, known as the "National Course," was 
selected by the representatives of various American Rowing 
Associations as the best course for holding the "American Re- 
gatta." 

ALUMNI HALL. — 3451 Woodland Avenue. The building 
was formerly the home of the Medical Institute and later of 
the General Alumni Society which is now located in the Hale 
Building, 1328 Chestnut Street. The first floor contains the 
printing plant of The Pennsylvanian, the undergraduate daily 
newspaper. 

UNIVERSITY HOUSE, a Christian settlement main- 
tained by the University Christian Association, at the northwest 
corner of Lombard and Twenty-sixth Streets, was opened in the 
fall of 1906. It was designed in the Philadelphia English Co- 
lonial style by the late Professor Charles F. Osborne of the 
Architectural School, and has all the latest equipment of a 
modern settlement building. Adjoining is a small playground 
and several small houses used largely for neighborhood club 
purposes. The total cost was $60,000. The building is 82 by 
54 feet, with three stories, basement, and roof garden. The 
basement contains a gymnasium 40 by 60 feet (which may also 
be used as an auditorium), club rooms for boys, and locker 
rooms with showers, and heating plant. The first floor accom- 
modates the office, gymnasium gallery, and a neighborhood room ; 



196 

the second floor has an auditorium which is also used as the 
girls' gymnasium and kindergarten, the library, two club rooms 
for young men, two for boys, two for girls, a demonstrating 
kitchen, and a locker room with baths for girls. The third 
floor provides living quarters for the Resident Director, four 
women workers and ten students. The roof garden is well 
adapted for kindergarten work, baseball, entertainments and 
festivals.

to whose unwearied exertions, unstinted liberality

with the School. Dr. McCracken's support is provided by the 
Christian Association. Other Pennsylvania men on the Faculty 
of the Medical School are : Herman Bryan, M.D., 'oi Med. ; 
H. H. Morris, M.D., '08 Med., and E: S: Tyau, M.D., D.P.H., 
'13 Med. 




SETTLEMENT FARM OF THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION. 

During one recent year over 1500 patients were received in 
the wards in St Luke's Hospital for medical and surgical treat- 
ment, and there was an attendance at the dispensary of nearly 
90,000 patients. The attending physicians and surgeons . are 
nearly all on the teaching staff of the Medical School, so that 
ample clinical advantages are assured for teaching purposes. 

The object of the Christian Association in undertaking the 
work of medical instruction in China has been to cooperate in 
the maintenance of a Medical School whose students will be 
surrounded by a positive Christian environment, and whose 
equipment and quality of work will reach the highest possible 
standards. It was believed that such a school would attract 
the interest and support of the whole University body and 
would stand to attest the recognition by the University of 
Pennsylvania of the wide claims and responsibilities that rest 
upon a Christian University. 

Two other representatives are maintained by the Christian 
Association in Foreign Missionary work : William W. Cadbury, 
M.D., *02 Med., a former associate of Dr. McCracken, at Can- 
ton, who is a member of the medical staff of Canton Christian 



201 

College, and the chief resident physician at Canton Hospital ; 
and Mr. Frank V. Slack, '03 College, of Calcutta, India, is 
serving as National Senior Secretary for India of the Young 
Men's Christian Association. 

In maintaining this foreign work, the effort of the Christian 
Association is to educate students. Faculty and Alumni of the 
University in relation to the v^ork of the Church abroad and

the religious conditions of foreign countries, as well as to 
inspire students to give their lives and their means to the 
missionary enterprise. 



THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION BUDGET.— The 

Christian Association conducts the daily Chapel services in Hous- 
ton Hall. Sunday services with special speakers in the nearby 
Churches, Bible and Mission study classes, in which 1300 men 
are enrolled, a student employment bureau, a free student text- 
book loan library, the University Settlement House, the Uni- 



202 

versity Summer Camp, and maintains foreign missionaries in 
China and India. This work involves an annual expenditure of 
$40,000, about $2500 of which is contributed by the students, 
and the balance by the Faculty, /vlumni, and friends of the Uni- 
versity. 

THE MASK AND WIG CLUB.- Pennsylvania's famous 
theatrical organization was founded in 1889. It occupies a club 
house at 310 Quince Street, formerly a stable, which was re- 
modeled by Wilson Eyre, Jr., and decorated by Maxfield Par- 
rish. The Club House has cost the organization more than 
$20,000; it includes a grill room and offices, an auditorium or 
rehearsal hall, with stage and dressing rooms, kitchens, etc. 
There are two classes of members — undergraduate and alumni. 
In the early winter the Mask and Wig "Preliminary Perform- 
ances" are held in the Club theatre. These are for the pur- 
pose of trying out new candidates, and admission is entirely 
by invitation. None but apprentices are allowed to take part. 
From the best talent in the "preliminaries" the Club selects its 
material for the annual Easter production. This is always in 
the nature of a pictorial extravaganza, and is played during the 
whole of Easter week at one of the largo Philadelphia theatres 
followed by one-night stands in several other cities. The 
annual production is always new and original, and costs from 
$10,000 to $12,000 to present. Nearly one hundred students take 
part, and the whole preparation and management is in the 
hands of the alumni members of the Club. "The Mask and 
Wig Show" has become the most prominent social and dramatic 
feature of Easter week in Philadelphia.

PSI UPSILON.— One of the first Fraternities at the Uni- 
versity of Pennsylvania to build its own club house was the 
Tau Chapter of the Psi Upsilon, which owns the imposing 
gray stone building at the forks of Woodland Avenue, Locust 
and Thirty-sixth Streets. The style of architecture employed 
might be described as a modified Collegiate Gothic. The plans 
were drawn by William D. Hewitt, and the building was con- 
structed of stone from the Chester Valley, donated by one of 
the members. The trimmings are of Ohio stone. The build- 
ing has a frontage on Thirty-sixth Street of 64 feet, and an 
average depth of 60 feet on Woodland Avenue and Locust 
Street. On the main floor is a large central hall, reception room, 
dining room, library and study; oh the second and third floors 
are fourteen large bedrooms, with the necessary shower and 
bath rooms. On the third floor is also a large chapter, or 
initiation room, 24 feet square. The floors and all the in- 
terior woodwork are of oak. This building, and all the new 
Fraternity houses about the campus, have their own steam or 
hot water heating systems, and are equipped with everything 
necessary for a complete club house, including huge open fire- 
places. 

DELTA PHI.— At 3453 Woodland Avenue, is the Delta 
Phi house, also known as the St. Elmo Club. The front eleva- 



208 



tion comes out to the building line of Woodland Avenue, and 
forms the long side of a triangular lot, which gives the building 
the appearance of being more massive than it really is, its depth 
being rather shallow. The style of architecture might be de- 
scribed as an adaptation of the Jacobean. The building is con- 
structed of hard burnt brick, ornamented by borders, copings 
and projections of the same material. It is four stories high, 
and on the second floor, facing the campus, is a small open 
loggia.

PSI UPSILON HOUSE. 

PHI KAPPA PSI.— Occupying four lots on the north side 
of Locust Street, near Thirty-seventh, are two notable examples 
of modern Fraternity houses. These are the club houses of 
the Phi Kappa Psi, and the Delta Psi. The alumni members of 
the latter also have a general club house at s^ South Twenty- 
second Street. The Phi Kappa Psi house was designed by 
Frank A. Rommel, and the Delta Psi by Cope and Stewardson. 
The former, which was dedicated on February 17, 1905, is also 
an adaptation of the Jacobean style of architecture, but its lines 
are somewhat more simple than those of the Deita Phi. The 



209 

building, which is 39 feet front by 80 feet deep, is constructed 
of red Scotch sandstone, and brick, and has a slate roof. On 
the first floor is a living room, known as "Cochran Hall," which 
was furnished by Mrs. S. B. Cochran as a memorial to her 
son, the late James P. Cochran, '03 College. On this floor are 




DELTA PHI HOUSE, 

also the dining room, kitchen, etc., and billiard room. The latter 
was furnished as a memorial by the parents of the late John 
Gilbert Stoddart, who was a member of the chapter. The 
dining room, which accommodates forty men, is perhaps the most 
tastefully decorated room of its kind at the University; the gro- 
tesque frieze painted by Livingston Smith, '01 C, is a very ar- 



210 



tistic piece of work. The house is well planned ; the loggia, 
which covers the entire front of the house, being used as a 
sun parlor in the winter and an open porch in the summer. 




^C^-'y^S.^S*.- W»*%* c-<-. -, 



PHI KAPPA PSI HOUSE. 

The entrance to the house is on the side, opening into a hallway 
in which there is a spacious staircase. It contains twenty-eight 
rooms in all ; twenty of them on the second and third floors 
being used as bedrooms, with the usual shower baths, linen 
rooms, etc. On the fourth floor is the initiation hall. The 
house is finished in Flemish oak, with cream tinted walls. The 
hangings and draperies are of a beautiful shade of dark red, 
and all of the furniture is in keeping with the general style of 
the interior. 



211 



DELTA PSI.— Directly to the east of the Phi Kappa Psi 
IS the Delta Psi, known as St. Anthony Hall. The architecture 
of this house is somewhat similar to that employed by the Eng- 
lish in the seventeenth century. The material is the same as 
that used on all recently constructed University buildings— hard 
burnt brick with Indiana limestone trimmings. The architects 
have been particularly successful in their treatment of this build- 




DELTA PSI HOUSE. 

mg,^ which is considered one of the best proportioned structures 
of Its kmd in Philadelphia, and the color schemes of this and 
the new Phi Kappa Sigma house are a delight to all lovers of 
beautiful buildings. Like its neighbor, the main entrance is on 
the east side, this plan in both buildings being adopted to give 
the entire Locust Street frontage of the first floor to the main 
club rooms. On this floor is also a magnificent dining room, 



212 



which extends the full width of the building, and opens out 
upon a terrace overlooking a small garden. The other rooms 
in the building correspond very nearly in number and size and 
use to those of the Phi Kappa Psi, 




PHI UKLTA THETA HOUSE. 

PHI DELTA THETA.— The chapter house of the Phi 
Delta Theta, at the west forks of Walnut Street, Woodland 
Avenue and Thirty-fourth Street, was constructed in 1900. To 
the Phi Delta Theta belongs the distinction of first adopting a 
style of architecture which is in keeping with the various groups 
of later University buildings. It was designed by Oswald Shelly, 
'00 C. The style employed was a modified Collegiate Gothic. 
Like the University buildings, it is constructed of hard-burnt 
brick and sandstone, trimmed with Indiana limestone. It con- 
tains ten bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living room with an 
open fireplace, a billiard room, and an initiation hall. 

The paneling in the hall was recently completed so that now 
practically the whole first floor is finished in weathered oak. 

In living room — ^Randal Morgan Memorial Fireplace, gift of 
Class of 1908. 

In hall — Memorial Bench to Daniel Beall McQuillen. 

In hall — Memorial Chimney Breast to S. Crozer Fox. 



213 

ZETA PSI. — In planning the Zeta PsI house at the eastern 
forks of Walnut Street and Woodland Avenue, the architects, 
Thomas, Churchman & Molitor, treated the three fronts of 
the building so that they would not only have a certain dis- 




ZETA PSI HOUSE. 

tinctiyeness, but lead even a casual observer to feel that the 
building was a part of the University group ; and they have given 
the whole structure, inside and out, a most cheerful and home- 
like atmosphere. The roof is covered with green and variegated 
slate of various sizes and thicknesses. The architecture of this 
building might also be classed as of the Collegiate Gothic type, 
but well adapted to its environment. The material used in the 
construction is a rough brick laid with extremely wide mortar 
joints entirely of stretchers laid in pairs and singly, to give the 
effect of a header and stretcher wall. The effect of the brick- 
work is somewhat similar to that of the University Museum 
buildings. The beautiful simplicity of the Walnut Street en- 
trance is rivaled only by some of the doorways and arches of 
the Dormitories. 

PHI KAPPA SIGMA.— The style chosen for the home 
of the Phi Kappa Sigma, at the northeast corner of Thirty-sixth 
and Locust Streets, is a phase of Renaissance, or rather a

PHI GAMMA DELTA HOUSE was built in 1914, and is at 
3619-21 Locust Street. It was designed by Walter Mellor, a 
graduate of the Architectural School, and conforms to the early 
English Tudor period of architecture rather than the Jacobean 
or Elizabethan to which many later University buildings con- 
form. The entrance leads through a low-studded wainscoted 
passage to the main hall which is extremely severe in treatment ; 
the dining and club rooms adjoin and a broad staircase leads to 
bedrooms and study rooms. 




DELTA TAU DELTA HOUSE. 



The dining room is large enough to seat about thirty-six men. 
The west wall is entirely taken up by windows which, being 
glazed with Cathedral glass, throw a mellow glow over the 
interior. The east wall is wainscoted and provided with a dig- 
nified mantelpiece. The room is a memorial to Charles Armand 
Elliot, and over the doorway, cut in the stone lintel, appears a 
fitting inscription. The club room is wainscoted about half way 
up with a balcony across one end and is lighted by the great 
bay window on the front of the building. It is patterned after 
the great halls to be found in old English houses and, owing to 
its height, it has great dignity, with the sunlight Douring in 
through the windows lighting up the rich woodwork and pick- 
ing out spots of carving here and there, with the added cheer 
fulness of a great open fireplace. 



219 

THE UNIVERSITY FLAG.— While the colors of the 
University, ever since they were first used in 1873, have been 
red and blue, because of frequent dipcussions about the exact 
shades of colors and dimensions of flags, an official flag of the 
University of Pennsylvania was adopted on June 15, 1910. The 
colors are red and blue and conform to the standards used by 
the United States Government. The design is rectangular and 
consists of three vertical bands— red, blue, and red, with the 
William Penn coat of arms in the center of the blue band. The 
width of the red bands is 22/48 of the hoist, and the width of 
the blue band, 28/48 of the hoist. The shield is rectangular, of a 
height equal to 20/48 of the hoist and a width equal to '17/48 
of the hoist. The fess occupies approximately 1/3 of the height 
of the shield. 

The Provost's flag is the standard of the University and has 
in addition, a five-pointed star in the upper corner in the red 
field of the hoist. Each department may fly a pennant of its 
own with the official flag. Such pennant must not exceed twice 
the length of the flag. The colors for the pennants are: Arts 
and Letters, white; Science, golden yellow; Music, pink; The- 
ology, scarlet; Philosophy, dark blue; Law, purple; Medicine, 
green; Dentistry, lilac; Veterinary, gray.

OLD UNIVERSITY LANDMARKS 

FIRST BUILDINGS.— On the west side of Fourth Street, 
below Arch, stood the first building of the University of Penn- 
sylvania, erected in 1740. The site has long since been occupied 
by modern business structures, although part of one of the 
buildings, erected in 1762, is still standing, as also part of the 
home of the Provost at the southwest corner of Fourth and 
Arch Streets. On one of the walls in an alley leading to the site 
where stood the first University building, the Class of 1889 Col- 
lege erected a large bronze memorial tablet, inscribed as follows : 



221 

On this site stood the "New 
Building" erected in 1740 

for George Whitefield 
and for a Charity School 

Subsequently until 1802 
it was used by the SchooJ 

Academy College and 

University of Pennsylvania 

Successively — This tablet 

was placed here by the 

Class of 1889 College on the 

Twentieth Anniversary of 

their graduation June 1909

THE OLD JAIL was located at Third and Market Streets 
from Mfhich Provost Smith taught his classes during February, 
March and April of 1758. 

OLD CHRIST CHURCH, on the west side of Second 
Street, near Market, is closely associated with the early history 
of the University. The Church was founded in 1695 under a 
charter granted by Charles II to William Penn. In this Church 
the Colonial Governors had their state pew. It was chartered 
by the Penn family, proprietaries of Pennsylvania, descendants 
of William Penn. John Penn, who was one of the trustees ol 
the University from 1764 to 1779, the last male member of this 
line, is buried near the steps of the pulpit. 

It was in this church, in 1739, that George Whitefield preached ; 
and in 1740 a fund was raised with which the lot on Fourth 
Street, below Arch, was purchased and a building erected for 
him in which a Charity School was organized, which was the

was baptized. His remains arc interred before the chancel rail, 
and his bishopric chair is beside the altar. Benjamin Franklin, 



223 

the founder of the University, was a member of the committee 
which built the spire, and he originally intended to try his elec- 
trical experiments with a kite from its summit, then the highest 
point in Philadelphia. He occupied pew number seventy. His 
remains are buried in the parish grounds, at Fifth and Arch 
Streets, where are the graves of many other men connected 
with the early history of the University of Pennsylvania. Robert 
Morris, a trustee of the University from 1778 to 1791, occupied 
pew number fifty-two. His remains are buried beneath the 
Parish House. Francis Hopkinson, another trustee and signer, 
occupied pew number sixty-five. The remains of James Wilson, 
another signer, a graduate of the College, Professor of English 
Literature at the University, its first Professor of Law, one 
of the trustees, and Justice of the Supreme Court of the United 
States, are also buried in the churchyard. 

George Washington, an honorary alumnus of the University, 
and Martha Washington, occupied pew number fifty-eight from 
1790 to 1797, while he was President of the United States. This 
pew was also occupied by John Adams while he was President, 
and by Lafayette, also an honorary alumnus, on his second visit 
to Philadelphia. 

Among the distinguished clergymen who have been rectors of 
the church, besides Bishop White, were : Bishop Welton ; Bishop 
William H. Delancey, who was a trustee in 1826, and Provost of 
the University from 1828 t.o 1834; Bishop Kemper; Dr. William 
Augustus Muhlenberg, of the Class of 181 5, one of the founder^ 
of the Philomathean Society of the University, and author of 
many famous hymns, was assistant minister from 1817 to 1822; 
Rev, Dr. Thomas Coombe, of the Class of 1766, who was 
chaplain to King George HI, and Rev. Dr. Robert Blackwell, 
chaplain of the American Army at Valley Forge, and on whom 
the University conferred an honorary degree in 1788, were also 
rectors of this parish. 

SITE OF THE OLD ANATOMICAL HALL of the Med- 
ical Department, on the east side of Fifth Street, between Chest- 
nut and Walnut. Occupied from 1765 to 1802. 

THE SITE OF THE OLD PRESIDENTIAL MANSION, 

at Ninth and Chestnut Streets, where the United States Post- 
ofiice now stands. The building was erected by the State of 
Pennsylvania as a residence for the President of the United 
States while the capits^l was in Philadelphia. The corner-stone 
of this building is on exhibition in the Library of the University. 
The University occupied this site from 1802 to 1873, when it 
moved to its present location. 

A bronze statue, by John J. Boyle, of Benjamin Franklin, the 
founder of the University, has been erected on the Chestnut 
Street side of the old site. 



224 

A bronze tablet was placed on "The Record" Building in 
19 16 to indicate to passersby on Chestnut Street the historic 
ground upon which this structure stands. The tablet reads : 

"This site was part of tlie garden of Abram Marl^oe, 
captain of the First Troop, Philadelphia City Cavalry, 
whose grounds extended from Chestnut to Market and from 
Ninth to Tenth streets. He gave to the city a portion of 
the property on Ninth street, in which to erect an execu- 
tive mansion for George Washington. It was afterwards 
occupied by the University of Pennsylvania and is the 
present site of the Post Office. In 1820 Abram's son, John 
Markoe, built his residence on this site. His family occu- 
pied it until 1840, when it became a hotel, known as the 
Markoe House, which was replaced by 'The Record' Build- 
ing in 1881. 'The Philadelphia Record' was first issued 
May 14, 1870, at the southwest corner of Third and Chest- 
nut streets." 

AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY BUILDING 

in Independence Square. Society consolidated with a society 
founded by Franklin, and part of this building was used by the 
Medical School in its early days. 

CONGRESS HALL, at the southeast corner of Sixth and 
Chestnut Streets, still remains. It was occupied by the United 
States Congress for ten years from 1790 to 1800, when Philadel- 
phia was the National Capital. This building, and two ad- 
jacent buildings since demolished, were occupied by the Law 
School of the University from 1895 to 1900, the old Senate and 
House of Representatives chambers in this building were used 
as class rooms. A bronze tablet has been placed in the Law 
School, commemorating this fact. 

WILLIAM SMITH;S HOUSE AT FALLS CREEK.— 

William Smith, the first Provost of the University of Pennsyl- 
vania, lived for many years in a house situated on a bluff or 
hill which bordered the Falls Creek and the Ridge Road, south 
of Indian Queen Lane. This spot, known as Smith's Hill, com- 
manded a beautiful view of the Schuylkill both to the south and 
to the north. The mansion was occupied by him in 1773, and, 
with the exception of a few years, he lived there until 1803. 
Two of the buildings on this estate still remain, although some- 
what altered. The mansion, an L-shaped house, the main arm 
facing to the west, is situated on the summit of the hill. It 
is substantially built, with a fine porch on its western face, 
terraces, and a lawn extending towards the bluff. 

HOUSE IN SPRING STREET WHERE FRANKLIN 
LIVED. — An ancient three-story brick dwelling at iii Spring 
Street, a small thoroughfare near Front and Race Streets, is 



226 



said to have been at one time the home of Benjamin Franklin, 
the founder of the University of Pennsylvania. No records 
have been found, however, to substantiate this tradition. After 
arriving in Philadelphia the tradition is that he boarded in this 
house for a number of years, occupying one of the rooms in 
the attic. When he became more prosperous he removed to a 
large residence on Market Street, between Third and Fourth 
Streets, which was demolished many years ago. The house on

SONGS 

HAIL! PENNSYLVANIA 

By Edgar M. Dilley, '97 

(Air, R7issian Hymn) 

Hail ! Pennsylvania, noble and strong ; 
To thee with loyal hearts we raise our song. 
Swelling to Heaven loud, our praises ring ; 
Hail! Pennsylvania, of thee we sing! 



251 



Majesty as a crown rests on thy brow • 
Pride, Honor, Glory, Love, before thee bow 
Ne'er can thy spirit die, thy walls decay: 
-Wail ! Pennsylvania, for thee we pray ! 

Hail ! Pennsylvania ! guide of our youth • 
Thtf r ^^I ^l}"dren on to light and truth ; 
Thee when death summons us, others shall praise 
Hail! Pennsylvania, thro' endless days 



BEN FRANKLIN 

By Chari.es I. JuNKiN^ '77 

Music by Edward G. McColUn' '7i 

H'rah ! H'rah ! H'rah ' 
Penn-syl-van-i-a ! 
In days of old as we are told 

There lived a man named Ben ; 
A friend was he, and so are we 
To Pennsylvania men. 

A ready blade, he often made 

Ingenious little toys ; 
He built a kite with great delight 

And shocked the little boys. 

This ancient squire did then aspire 

A public school to found ; 
And with a dash he raised the cash 

And bought a lot of ground. 

And now we raise our song of praise 

To good old Father Ben ; 
A friend was he, and so are we. 

To Pennsylvania men. 

Chorus. 

Ben Franklin was his name, 
And not unknown to fame ; 
The founder first was he 
Of the U-ni-ver-si-tee. 



THE RED AND BLUE 

By Harry E. Westervelt^ '98 

Music by William J. Goeckel, '96 

Come all ye loyal classmen now. 

In hall and campus through, 
Lift up your hearts and voices for 

The royal Red and Blue. 
We ask no other emblem, 

No other sign to view, 
We only ask to see and cheer 

Our colors Red and Blue. 



252 

Chorus. 
Hurrah, Hurrah, Pennsylvania, 

Hurrah for the Red and Blue. 
Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, Hurrah, 

Hurrah for the Red and Blue. 

And now through all the years to come. 

In midst of toil and care, 
We'll get new inspiration 

From the colors waving there. 
And when to all our college life 

We've said our last adieu, 
We'll never say adieu to thee. 

Our colors Red and Blue. 



ALMA MATER 
Old Alma Mater, great and grand, 

Renown'd from sea to sea. 
Where'er thy loyal sons shall stand, 

They'll e'er be true to thee. 
The sight of thy ma.iestic halls, 

With ivy overgrown, 
The fondest memory recalls, 

That we have ever known. 

Chorus. 

Ah ! Pennsylvania, 

Dear Pennsylvania, 

We'll e'er be true — to Red and Blue — 

Of Pennsylvania. 

Dear Penn, the* spacious be thy halls, 

And wide thy campus spread 
And tho' thy adamantine walls 

Tall, tower overhead, 
Yet all too narrow are thy bounds 

Our fealty to contain, 
For hark ! the very sky resounds 

And echoes our refrain.

PHILADELPHIA 

Philadfiphia was founded in JGS2, by William Penn, who pur- 
chased tht^ territory from the Indians. 

During tlie I Revolutionary War it was the seat of the Continental 
Congress, except during the British occupation, and the Declaration 
of Independence was written and signed in Independence Hall. 
whieii remains ;is a historical monument to liJ)erty, at Sixth and 



259 

Chestnut Streets. Tho city was the National Capital from 1790 
to ]800, and the Capital of the State of Pennsylvania until early 
in the nineteenth century. 

In 1854, by the consolidation of nine districts, thirteen town- 
ships, and six boroughs, the city and the county were made one 
in extent, containiny an area of about 130 .square miles. The 
population in 1910, was 1,549,008, and the estimated population, 
in Hi IS, is close to 2,000,000. ''IMie city lies on th(- riglit bank of the 
J Delaware; liiver', wliich separates it fi'om Camden, New Jersey, a 
city of about 150,000 whicii bears the same pliysical relation to 
IMiiladelphia that Brofjklyri does to Manhattan. The Schuylkill 
lliver, a tributary of the Delaware, Hows tiirough Fairmount Park 
and the center of the cit.y. 

Third in pojjulation and second in manufactures in the United 
States, J'hil;i,(le||)iii;i, contains more; single dwellings than any city 
of its fi'i'/At and ijopulation. It has more tiiair 4 00,000 buildings, of 
wlricli at least ;i50,000 ar-e dwellings. Thei-e are 900 churx-hes, 1400

libraries, nearly 100 i)arl\S and childfcir.s pla.\'groiiiids, covering 
between five and six thousand acr'es, 2 2 puldic bath-house.s, 'A 
public bands, 1500 miles of paved streets, and 500 of well-builL 
suburban roads. 

The suburban territory, especially along the Main Line of the 
Pennsylvania Itailroad and the Chestnut Hill Branch, is celebrated 
for its beauty and country homes and grounds and estates of 
great extent, and the same is true of the Old York Jioad district 
on the north. Fairmount Par-k with the Wissahickon Creek is 
noted as the largest and most picturesque natural city park in 
this country. In tire built-up sections are smaller parks or squares, 
such as Independence Squar-e at Sixth and Chestnut Streets; Wash- 



200 

ington Square, at Sixth and Walnut ; Franklin Square, at Sixth 
and Vine ; Logan Square, at Nineteenth and Race ; and Ritten- 
house Square, at Nineteenth and Walnut Streets. The latter is sur- 
rounded by the residences of wealthy citizens and the landscape 
was designed by Paul Philippe Cret, of the University of Pennsyl- 
vania, after the Pare au Serfs, of Paris. 

Industrially, Philadelphia is one of the greatest manufacturing 
cities in the world and the second in tiiis respect in the United 
States. It is noted for the gi'eat variety of products and their high 
quality, especially in all textile productions and steel products, which 
is largely due to the permanency of the artisan class, many of whom 
have continued in the same trades from generation to generation. 
The capital invested represents about five hundred millions of 
dollars, and the annual product, according to the Industrial Bureau 
of tlie Chamber of Commerce, to one billion dollars. 

THK CITY GOVEUNMENT. — Philadelphia was governed under 
the provisions of an act of William Penn from 1683 to 1691, when 
it was granted a charter. A new charter and seal were granted 
in 1701, and the city was divided into wards four years later. 
In 1789 a new seal was adopted and was used until 1854, when 
the city and covmty were made co-extensive. Twenty-eight sec- 
tions were included in the consolidation. 

The present form of government was adopted in 1887. The de- 
l)ai-tments of Public Safety ; Public Works ; Public Health and 
Cliarities ; Supplies ; Wliarves, Docks and Ferries ; and Civil Service, 
are under the Mayor, who appoints the Directors of the same. 
The Mayor does not control the Presidents of Councils, the Con- 
troller, Treasurer, Solicitor, President of the Sinking Fund Com- 
mission or President of the Board of Education. 

SHORT HISTORIC WALKS. — Philadelphia and its vicinity within 
a radius of fifty miles is the richest territory in the United 
States in Revolutionary War and Colonial houses and sites. Tbe 
centre of the old city, however, liolds some ot the most prominent 
and i-evered. At Sixth and Chestnut Streets in Indeiiendence 
Square are Independence Hall, with its Liberty Bell, Congress 
Hall and the hall of tlie American Philosophical Society. In a court 
l)etween Tiiird and l^^'ourth Streets is Carpentei-s' Hall; in Third 
Street is tlie Girai'd National Rank ; on Second Sti'eet nortli of 
Mai'ket is Old Christ Church ; on Arch Street above Second is the 
Betsy Ross House ; at Arch and Fifth Streets is the grave of 
Benjamin Franklin ; on Seventh Street, 37 North, is the site of 
the first United States Mint, and at Seventh and Market Streets 
the Penn National Bank occupies the site of the house where 
Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, on Sev- 
enth Street below Market is the Franklin Institute. 

From the same starting point, going south, the Curtis Building 
rests on the site of the Loganian Library and the Penn Mutual 
Building on the site of the Old City Prison. At Seventh and 
T>ocust Sti'eets is the old I'Mrst Presbyterian Church ; on Locust 
Street .iust west of Eighth is Musical Fund Hall ; on Eighth 
Street near Locust the Morris Residence; at Ninth and Walnut 
Streets, the Walnut Street Theatre, the oldest in America. ' At 
Nintii and Pine Sti-eets is tlie Pennsylvania Hospital. From Pine 
Street to Washington Avenue, from the Delaware River to Broad 
Street is the congested foreign and negro section containing many 
(luaint and old residences, chiu'ch buildings and other objects of 
interest. 

FAITiMOUNT PARK 

Fairmount Park, one of the most picturesque natural city parks 
in the country, has an area of more than 34 00 acres, 43 miles of 
drives, 44 miles of footpaths, and 12 miles of bridle paths. It 
extends from Spring Garden Street liridge, on both sides of the 



26 1 



Schuylkill River, on the east side to the mouth of Wissahickon 
Creek, and follows the creek through a deep valley to the north 
of Chestnut Hill, for a distance of more than 11 miles. 

The territory between Spring Garden Street Bridge and Girard 
Avenue, known as the Old Park, contains many objects of historic 
and modern interest. To visit this section, take an Overbrook car, 
on Arch Street, and leave it at the entrance on the bridge. The 
view includes the Fairmount Dam, with the row of boathouses on 
the east bank of the river, under Lemon Hill, on which stands the 
former country house of Robert Morris, the financier of the Ameri-

can Revolution. The path from the entrance leads along the old 
reservoir of the original water works. One of the buildings is 
now used as an aquarium, and contains an interesting collection 
of native fishes, reptiles, and a trout hatchery. On the hill is a 
music pavilion where band concerts are held on Thursday after- 
noons and evenings. Crossing the plateau in a northerly direction, 
visit Grant Cottage, used by General Grant at City Point, in 18 GI- 
GS. At the west end of Girard Avenue Bridge is the Zoological 
Garden ; also an entrance to the Park under the graceful arches 
of the new Railroad bridge, to the left of which is the WILLIAM 
PENN COTTAGE, which was the home of the founder of Penn- 
svlvania. It was built in 16S2, and is the oldest brick house in

another of the old Centennial buildings, and has a collec- 
tion of magnificent tree ferns, palms, foreign and native plants and 
flowers. The conservatory is 230 by 80 feet and is 55 feet high. 

Take the Park trolley at Forty-fourth Street and Parkside Ave- 
nue Station. It should here be mentioned that opposite the sta- 
tion is a terminal of city trolley lines, where cars may be taken 
for any part of the city. The Park trolley skirts the outer 
boundaries of the Park and runs partly through it. The charm 
of the scenery must be felt, it cannot be described. 

The first stop should be George's Hill, at Fifty-second Street. 
The hill is 210 feet high and from its summit a wide landscape 
may be surveyed. There are band concerts at George's Hill on

Monday afternoon and evening. Proceed to Belmont Mansion, on 
an eminence which gives a most attr'active view of the river and 
the city. The mansion was built about 1743 and was the country 
seat of Judge Richard Peters, Revolutionary Secretary of War. 
Washington, Lafayette, Jefferson and other eminent generals and 
statesmen were frequent guests here. There are band concerts 
at Belmont on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons and evenings. 
Change at Greenland for Strawberry Mansion, a large old- 
fashioned country residence; from its rear lawn is a view of the up-

Village, one of the most charming vistas in the park. There are 
band concerts at Strawberry Mansion on Tuesday and Friday af- 
ternoons and evenings. Return to Greenland and change to the 
Forty-fourth Street line. Skirting the banks of the river the prin- 
cipal stations are at Chamounix, a miniature lake ; Woodside Park, 
a little Coney Island that attracts large crowds in the evenings 
and is just outside of the Park limits. The car returns to the 
Fortv-fourth Street Station.

HORTICULTURAL HALL. 



East Park begins at Girard Avenue and Thirty-first Street, and 
extends northward as a narrow strip of territory to Wissahickon 
Creek. A half-mile above Girard Avenue it leads to Fountain 
Green, built a century ago by Samuel Meekei" ; Mount Pleasant, 
built in 1762 by Captain John McPherson, a privateer, was bought 
at the beginning of the Revolution by Benedict Arnold, and tenanted 
by Baron von Steuben in 1782 ; Rockland, built in 1810 ; Woodford 
Mansion, at Dauphin Street, and Strawberry Mansion. 



THE WISSAHICKON 

Wissahickon Creek must be viewed from a carriage or on foot 
(motor cars are not permitted on the upper drive), and a day 
should be devoted to it. The lower portion may be reached by 
the Ridge Avenue cars or the Norrlstown Branch of the Readmg 
Railroad to Wissahickon Station. In a carriage, take the East 
River Drive from Green Street entrance, where is the Washmgton 
Monument, dedicated in 1897 by the Pennsylvania Society ot 
Cincinnati ; designed by Rudolph Siemering, of Berlm. Its cost 
was about $250,000. The monument is forty-four feet high and 
is considered one of the most beautiful equestanan statues m 
America. . ^ _, 

Proceed to the drive under the Reading Railroad bridge. The 
drive follows the stream to beyond Chestnut Hill, where it enters 
Barren Hill Pike. For the first mile it winds through a deep 
gorge and along the precipices to a pleasant valley. On the 
bridle i)atli on tlie east side is Mom Rinker's Rock, on winch is .-i

statue of William Penn ; on the driveway is a rock about 20 feet 
high which, at a distance of 100 yards to the north, looks like a 
stooping Indian ; Walnut Lane Bridge, one of the longest concrete 
arches in the world ; Livezey House and Mill, a Revolutionary 
house of note ; Valley Green Hotel, a half-mile above Valley Green 
and Cresheim Creek. World travellers have frequently pronounced 
the Wissahickon the most beautiful and romantic they have ever 
seen, but owing to the lack of publicity it is less known than many 
inferior attractions in other cities.

THE NEW P'ARKWAY is now the main approach to the Park,

the new Art Museum. 

OTHER PARKS AND SQUARES.— Philadelphia has more than 
100 parks, large and small, in addition to Fairmount Park. Most 
of them are of local and sectional or historic rather than general, 
interest. Among the larger ones are Hunting Park, at York Road 
and Lucerne Avenue : League Island in South Philadelphia : Bur- 
holme Park, at Fox Chase ; Cobb's Creek Park at Sixty-third and 
Market Streets : Pennypack Park at Holmesburg ; Gorgas Park, 
Ridge Avenue and Hermitage Street; Wister Woods at Fisher 
Station, Germantown ; the Arboretum, at Washington Lane Station ; 
Fernhill, Vernon and Stenton Parks, in Germantown ; and Bar- 
tram's Gardens on the Schuylkill. It is planned ultimately to 
connect most of these parks with Fairmount by a series of wide 
boulevards, so that any part of the City rnay be reached through 
the park system. Another plan was recently suggested by the 
writer for connecting the campus of the University of Pennsyl- 
vania with Fairniomit by condemning all properties in the oiie-

INDEPENDENCE HALL, CONGRESS HALL AND OLD CITY 

HALL 

Independence Hall comprises a main building- with two arcades 
connecting- it with two-story buildings, one at Fifth Street and 
the other at Sixth Street, on Chestnut Street. It was partly de- 
signed and built by Andrew Hamilton. The building- was author- 
ized by the Provincial Assembly of Pennsylvania as a State House, 
on May 1, 1729. The Leg-islature first met in the building in Oc- 
tober, 1736; Andrew Hamilton was elected speaker and Benjamin 
Franklin was clerk. The Assembly Room, or east room, in which 
the Declaration of Independence was sig-ned in 177 6, was finished 
in 1743, and the western chamber in 1748. The tower was no' 
finished and the bell hung until June, 1753, and the clock was 
placed in the tower in 1759. 

The Liberty Bell hang-s from its orig-inal beam within a frame 
in the main corridor. It was ordered from the agent of the 
Province, in London, and cast by Pass and Stow, of Philadelphia. 
It weighs 2080 pounds, and has the following- inscriptions: 

"By order of the Assembly of the Province of Pennsylvania for 
the State House in Philadelphia, 1752." And underneath this: "Pro- 
claim Liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants 
thereof. Lev. xxv, v, x." 

On July 8, 1835, while being- tolled in memory of Chief Justice 
Marshall, the bell was cracked. 

Congress Hall, at Sixth and Chestnut Streets, was completed in 
1790, and until 1800 was occupied by the United States Cong-ress. 
Washington was inaugurated President in this building- in 1793, 
for a second term, and John Adams, as Vice-President, in De- 
cember, 1795; Adams took the oath as President and Jefferson 
as Vice-President in 1797. After 1800 it was devoted to various 
local courts. It was occupied by the Law School of the University 
of Pennsylvania from 1895 to 1900. 

The United States Supreme Court House and Old City Hall, at 
Fifth and Chestnut Streets, was built in 1791, and was occupied 
by the court from 1791 to 1800. The Philadelphia City Councils 
met on the second floor from 1791 to 1854, and the Mayor's office 
was located in the building- from 1791 to 1889. 

The ''State House Row" building's, as they are usually called 
are now chiefly occupied by miscellaneous historical collections of 
paintings and relics. An illustrated catalogue of these may be 
obtained at the Hall.

PENNSYLVANIA ACADEMY OF THE FINE ARTS 

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, at Broad and 
Cherry Streets, the oldest art institution in the United States, was 
founded in 1805, and chartered in the year following, but actually 
dates from 1791, when Charles Willson Peale attempted to or- 
ganize in Philadelphia a school for the Fine Arts. This purpose 
was not successful, but out of it grew, in 179 4, the Columbianum, 
and in the following year, under the auspices of this Association, 
was held in the State House the first exhibition of paintings in 
Philadelphia. The Columbianum, existed only for a few years, 
but the interest of the elder Peale in a society or school to ad- 
vance the cause of the fine arts never abated, and to his efforts was 
chiefly due the formation of the Nation's first art academy. The 
present building containing both the Galleries and the Schools of 
the Fine Arts, was opened to the pviblic in 1876. In 1917 the 
Academy opened a suburban school at Chester Sorings, Pa. The 
permanent collection of paintings and sculpture includes the Gallery 
of National Portraiture, the Temple Collection of Modern American 
Paintings, and the Gibson Collection, which is largely composed of 
works of the Continental Schools. The hours on weekdays are 
from 9 to 5 and on Sundays from 1 to 5. 



BANK OF NORTH AMERICA 

The Bank of North America, 307 Chestnut Street, was organized 
in 1781, and is the oldest bank in the United States. Alexander 
Hamilton and Robert Morris were associated with its early history.

contains more than 60,000 volumes, exclusively for reference. The 
museum is one of the most important in existence. The verte- 
brate animals number about 13 0,000 specimens, including 12,000 
mammals, 60,000 birds, 20,000 reptiles, and 40,000 fishes. Insects 
are estimated at 400,000; shells at a million and a half; fossils 
at 50,000; archaeological material, 20,000 pieces; dried plants, 
600,000. The Academy is open to the public.

THE FIRST U. S. MINT. 



The first public building erected by authority of Congress for a public 
purpose. The middle building shown was the coinage building and the 
first one erected. Here Washington, late in 1792, delivered some silver 
from which the so-called Washington dimes and half-dimes were coined. 
The silver-center cent of 1792 and the silver dollar of 1804 were coined here. 
The regular coinage of copper began in 1793; silver, 1794; gold, 1795. 

Until 1816 all of the power was supplied by men and horses. In that 
year steam was introduced for certain heavy work. Steam coinage in the 
new or second mint was not adopted until 1836. 

The treasure vaults were located twenty feet undergrovind beneath the 
office building on the street front. The coinage building also contained 
bullion vaults. The rear building contained the melting and refining 
departments. The original picture of "Ye Olde Mint" and the "Cradle of 
Liberty" are now in Congress Hall, Philadelphia. Public institutions will 
be furnished a picture of "Ye Olde Mint" reproduced by color photography 
from an original painting by Edwin La Masure, which is owned by the 
Frank H. Stewart Electric Company upon request to them. The Frank H. 
Stewart Electric Company now occupies the building erected on the site 
of "Ye Olde Mint."
